Short Punchy Fragments
Paragraph StructureExcessive use of very short sentences or sentence fragments as standalone paragraphs for manufactured emphasis. RLHF training has pushed models toward "writing for readability" aimed at the lowest common denominator: one thought per sentence, no mental state-keeping required. It's an inhuman style. No real person writes first drafts this way because it doesn't match how humans think or speak.
Examples
“He published this. Openly. In a book. As a priest.”
“These weren't just products. And the software side matched. Then it professionalised. But I adapted.”
“Platforms do.”
“A platform.”
“But I adapted.”
