I, as a non-native speaker, don't associate this with LLMs, but with corporate advertising texts.

They're basically the same thing. Machine language, just generated by a different kind of machine, one social, the other a transformer model.

One of the worst places are company "About pages". I've come across new products, some linked here; interested, I click through to the "about us" page, only to find meaningless marketing fluff that tells me zero about the people behind the product. That's a signal to me to close the tab and move on.

At the same time, at least to me, the text reads like a transcript from one of their YouTube tear downs.

There are those times we may be seeing the source of LLM language training. I had the same reaction of sounding like one but agree it's likely not.

Ifixit, the same guys that gave the new Macmini 8/10 for repairability? They're totally biased to mainstream products IMHO especially Mac products.

Then they give this Laptop a 10/10. One look at the internals and without a shadow of doubt it's not as as repairable friendly as framework laptop.

Not sure what they are smoking.

Yea someone else said it but bios updates on certain models can be hit or miss. But definitely better than dell or hp. I'd take Asus over Lenovo any day for bios though.

> Full disclosure: iFixit has an ongoing business relationship with Lenovo, and we are hopelessly biased in favor of repairable products.

Bottom of the page

It should probably read "hopelessly biased over shinny new products that have the appearance of repairability over other products that are actually repairable so that we can promote companies that contribute to the unreparibility of technology without really holding the industry accountable"

I can recall reading human-authored text like this for more than a decade.

LLMs copied this style of writing, no doubt by training on blog content. Blogs have been doing it forever now...
