An odd observation I've had lately is that that any form of written contrition/apology reeks of LLM influence now. I feel like I've been conditioned over the last few years to read any form of "I'm sorry" in written text and immediately assume it was written by AI

Part of that no doubt comes from the fact that AI gets stuff wrong, constantly, and whenever you correct it it does the sycophantic apology routine
But it's definitely weird. "Sincere, well written apologies seem inhuman now" is probably a bad sign for like, the trajectory of communication online
