People now write emails trying to prove they are not an LLM

The author jokes that they now write emails in a style that signals “serious + proof I’m not an LLM.”
The example is the punchline: a polished, slightly over-formal sentence followed by a parenthetical self-callout — “omg I sound like an LLM xD, but I mean it!”
It’s a small but very current AI-era writing meme: people now overcompensate to avoid sounding machine-generated.
