Oh people get like, super irritated, when everyone like, started using the same like, placeholder word. 1 person with a repeating style is fine, multiple is annoying. It's the same as corporate buzz words, or TV/movie cliches, they get annoying through overuse.

I think it also relates to how well the "cliches" fit, and how much sense they make. Ai loves to talk about how things "land" or "the X trap" when the concept just doesn't fit with that language. It's like clickbait articles saying "what happened next will astound you" when what happened is barely surprising or entirely predictable. The only thing worse than an overused cliche is an overused cliche used wrong.

Fundamentally to me, ai writing feels uncanny as it just doesn't know what it's saying. It uses the same tone, style and cliched construction regardless of the message. If someone told you, they got a promotion, were getting married, got laid off or lost their parents all in the same tone pacing and style, they'd come across as uncanny too.
