Nick, I am so SO curious about where this is all heading and totally loving the ride so far! I've seen a few "document your voice using my method" posts around these parts lately, and I have found them so disturbing. I doubt those authors even have a writing voice apart from AI, the posts have been classic AI slop and nothing they said made me want what it was they offered. However, your approach is something else and utterly fascinating!
The slop-written voice posts are the canary in the coal mine. If your methodology for sounding human can't survive your own demonstration of it, the methodology has a problem.
Glad the series landed. It's building toward something... I still haven't fully revealed it though. Hang tight!
This is a nice take on an AI capability that's often left unacknowledged: Without AI, there is no machine to teach and discovering your voice wasn't possible before.
Also, about your question, I couldn't think of a specific word/phrase at the top of my head right now, but I'll put it in a concept that when I super simplify a phrase or sentence, and I plug it into AI, it professionalizes it somehow or makes it politically correct, I guess.
When I simplify, really simplify something, like grade 5 (or even lower) level readability, it's intentional. But, AI corrects it anyways and puts it differently. :)
AI treating deliberate simplicity as a mistake it needs to fix is one of the sneakier drift patterns. It can't tell the difference between "this is simple because the writer doesn't know better" and "this is simple because the writer knows exactly what they're doing."
That distinction is yours. AI doesn't have it. Worth writing down.

Will do, Nick!! Enjoying the build!
