Hah, you can literally tell from the subheader.

> Rules downloaded from their server decide your pieces, your score and your ads. One waits for an expensive ad, then asks for a hand you can’t place.

I wouldn't be able to tell. No load bearing or is not x, it's y.

I actually don't mind if it's good enough, informative and not overly long.

Haven't really read anything super well written (in terms of language and form) lately, other than a really fun hn comment summarizing Trump's War.

But I just haven't read that much lately.

  • The tell here is the "One ..., then ... <negative>". This is "not X, it's Y" with the clauses reordered.

    For some reason the current crop of LLMs are really insistent on generating contrast between two things in every statement.

    • The problem is that the "it's not X it's Y" construction is very useful, and shows up a lot in human-written text.
