That's a misconception. LLMs are trained to suppress regurgitation, not because of plagiarism concerns, but because quoting training data verbatim means the model didn't learn from it, just memorized it.

Models absolutely do have voices. Spend some time using them, and you'll see. I can easily tell Claude-written prose apart - a consequence of using it daily.

You misunderstood, “Larger patterns still emerge” means yes you notice LLM’s but it’s for different kinds of patterns than you get from people.

> not because of plagiarism concerns

I’ve second hand accounts of meetings focused on exactly the problem of how much verbatim text was being spat out and what to do about it. Some versions of specific models are far worse at this but it’s a huge legal liability not to address it.
