"Why does it matter to you?" Many Claudisms are grating to many people. Annoying is enough of a justification.

Would they be grating to them in the pre-LLM days?
They would be nowhere near as prevalent. All claude-user output is in the same style, which is really annoying.
Precisely. Regis Philbin, Paris Hilton, Charles Barkley - they each have a pretty distinctive way of speaking and I have always actually enjoyed hearing each one's way of phrasing things. But it would quickly become hell if each week an additional 1% of the things we read was written exactly how Regis would phrase it.
(I purposely picked people with pretty specific speaking habits because yup, the Claude output is 100% that distinctive).

I said several months ago that bots like your coworker, personal assistant, search engine, and customer service are now all the same person. They also write all the blog posts and articles you read and scripts for YouTube videos.

No, same way "synergy" wasn't grating before every middle manager started saying it.
Imagine if everything in the world you read was written by one author - and you didn't particularly like that author's writing style. Or even if you did like the author's style, it began to grate on you simply because there was no reprise from it.
That's the world we are shifting to.
