The only thing worse than reading the repetitive claude-ism's while using the actual tool is seeing (likely human) efforts to reproduce it on every comment and blog.
X to doubt. I think the more parsimonious explanation is that a lot people are lazy and/or uncaring, and given the option to avoid thinking while still producing a vaguely equivalent [1] output they're taking it.
[1] For a loose definition of "equivalent" where they clearly either don't notice the Claudeslop or don't care enough to avoid it, of course.
I've noticed Claude-ish increasingly creeping into how folks write on HN. It is unfortunate, but not really surprising given how many of the participants in this community are exposed to reams of AI writing on a daily or even hourly basis.
Given the hundreds of thousands I've burned in tokens over the past year, I'm surprised to not have picked up more of that nonsense (AFAICT I haven't :>).
Alternative possibility: Is it that people are using AI to craft their replies? Also yucky.
Haha :/ one of the sad things for me is that prior to LLMs I had a fairly LLMish writing style. Kinda formal, lots of bullet points and em dashes, two instances before etc, etc. since the debut of gpts I've had to adjust my style to be marginally more opaque so that I don't get mistaken for an LLM
Love it (the mockery, that is). So far Opus 5.5 feels noticeably better in this regard (oh, and it’s fast!), but I felt the same about Fable initially. Not buying into the nerfing theories yet but if I find myself going into LLM-tilt again soon then I might join the club.

I was disappointed that refreshing the page didn't regenerate the text
I suppose an infinite scroll _would_ be funnier
They missed the first legitimate use case for infinite scroll.
So like, who writes like this and how do we delete them from the training corpus?
At this point, training on public codebases created by "You're Absolutely Right!"-era Claude...
I laughed, and then I cried, and then I laughed again. Bravo. I'm going to go vomit while trying not to choke it up with laughter.
It would be hilarious if this was generated by a markov chain or something so it would infinitely scroll. Infinite Claude.
Fable 5.1 makes everything a "Rung". These statistical markers are very annoying.
It drives me bananas. This post is so triggering.
