Even as someone who uses a lot of AI, if you can't be bothered to at least give it a prompt like "Go through the documentation and comments in detail and remove any obvious AI shibboleths like emdashes, it's not x it's y, rule-of-three, 'delve', excessive grandiosity and flourishes, boldness, bullet points, etc", you should receive a brisk kick in the rear.

I feel bad about most of my comments since this is the thing I say too. If you can't be bothered to write shit, why would I read your shit?

I'd be curious to know if there is a list of these "AI shibboleths" somewhere

    Not really but they jump right out at you after a few minutes chatting with it. I also asked the AI and it was pretty subjectively accurate, especially if you force it to cross reference with web searches and especially google's ngram corpus (you can readily see that 'delve' and some of the other rhetorical constructs are quite uncommon in human speech)
