Ever read Hemingway? Short, abrupt sentences. Sometimes incomplete. Observations with invisibly attached emotions. Their rhythm. Reader's imagination completes the picture like no author could.

A powerful style, merely sixty years old.

Hemingway's style had a lot of influence. It would not surprise me if text influenced by it is widespread in the LLM training corpus.

Peak HN moment: comparing AI-generated text to Hemingway.

You can ask your favorite LLMs to imitate Hemingway; I suppose they'd be comparably successful.

What you see as "AI-generated" looks more like translation, or written in English by a non-native speaker. The author is German, it appears.

I suppose they'd be comparably successful.

Yes, so, not particularly.
