You can suggest a different one and it works pretty well, the bar is very low.

I asked for hemingway in a planning document one time and the result was highly amusing to everyone. "We will not wreck it with small greeds." was an all time favorite for me.

The problem is that everyone (well, too many) is now using the same "voice" when writing.

So no matter how good or thoughtful the writing is it gets tiresome.

That's not true at all, human tends to come through (in a way I didn't notice pre-LLM) with varied tone, with opinions injected, and with varying degrees of weight to different components, in all but the most egregious of examples (linkedin motivation pieces, apple marketing speak).

LLMs have a bunch of tricks for dressing up their infodumps, but they are almost purely infodumps, and no real opinion comes through. There's no sense of more importance to one statement or the other, it's all monotone (and usually over the top.)

It's the unholy trinity of pundits, marketing, and HR.

Their writing was already painted into this corner long before the LLM epoch and they continue to publish more than anyone else.
