I've never seen LLMs talk like what you're describing, though.

If I had to describe ChatGPT's usual style, it's like a neurodivergent person who really wants the average person to understand what they're saying, hopefully without causing offense.

    Oh, god, that's me that you just described. No wonder people think I'm an LLM. Yikes! Lol!

    I've also gotten accused of being on meth due to my Internet comments, even though I've never touched anything like it. Yay, AuDHD!
