MIT's Phillip Isola says he's bored of LLM-stylized papers and even had Claude list its own writing tells, urging people to avoid them. A reply pushes back: labeling more words as "AI words" ruins their usage — citing Kaiming He's classic 2015 paper 'Delving Deep into Rectifiers' (PReLU, 4.94% top-5 on ImageNet 2012, first to surpass human-level performance) as proof that 'delve' was a perfectly good word.
