Claude usually rates its own writing very highly, which is a problem when trying to make it write differently.

Yeah, I once asked it to review its own writing with a subagent with a pretty strict writing guide, and it didn't see anything wrong, lol.

I've tried to push AI to get rid of the AI-isms. And, despite being able to produce a skill file which described all the strange ways that AI "talk", the AI failed to actually make the output sound less like AI. Tried this with ChatGPT and Claude with similar results for both.
