An AI writing tell? One user points to inanimate objects as verb subjects
For keyboard instructions, the user suggests a more human phrasing: “enter to open, esc to return, ctrl+c twice to quit.”
TLDR
A user says they can't stop noticing inanimate objects used as the subjects of verbs after someone flagged the pattern as a pervasive, telling sign of large language model writing. They contrast it with instructions they say a person would write: “enter to open, esc to return, ctrl+c twice to quit.”
