The bolding of certain phrases and words makes me think of how many popular language models write. And even more interesting now is the skepticism of, "Did a human write this?" I'm not a purist and use models at times in my writing, but try to keep it matching my own voice and what I would actually say.


This is the way Italians write, especially academics, translated into English words. Even in mundane, everyday documents the style has plenty of fillers and embellishments, unlike the more straightforward one of everyday English.


You're beating around the bush but you seem to want to accuse this of being AI generated, just because it's unfamiliar to you. I get it though, and it's going to get worse. Was this written by an AI? Who knows? Maybe I put all my HN comments over the years into an LLM and it's now writing comments for me?


No, I was not trying to make that point inadvertently.


It's just Italian style for this kind of press releases, especially if it involves publicly funded studies. Source: I'm Italian.


It's like they figured out how to put emphatic hand gestures into the written word.


This made me also think of an LLM. But looking into their other press releases this seems to be their style if writing, also for the press releases predating LLMs.
