   I really hope this was intentional.

      In context, he's just saying this self-scrutiny is what makes your words authentic.

         I was referring to the use of the word "load-bearing". It was most likely an intentional joke, but it's one of the most grating current AI-tells to the point it's a word you'll at this point generally want to avoid (unless it's a joke).

            I figured that's what you meant and agree the phrasing is over-speak.

            To your comment, I wasn't aware of the eye rolling meta for the phrase [0]. I hadn't seen it overused to the extent people are claiming.

            Given that he says &quot;never use a LLM suggested word&quot;, and given he&#x27;s a sophisticated writer, it&#x27;s clearly a joke.

            Pangram 4 says it&#x27;s 100% human written, including the &quot;load-bearing&quot; sentence.
