This is a very apt diagnosis by philosopher Luciano Floridi; an excerpt:

Hedging — compulsive softening to avoid commitment. “It’s worth noting,” “arguably,” “in many ways,” “to some extent,” “it could be said that,” “it’s important to remember,” “there’s a sense in which”….

Throat-clearing — long preambles before getting to the point. “Before we dive in, let’s first understand…,” “To answer this, we need to take a step back…,”

Resumptive parroting — restating what the user just said before responding. “So you’re asking about X. X is a really important topic. When it comes to X…”

Formulaic transitions — “Let’s dive in,” “Let’s unpack this,” “Let’s break this down.”

Hollow intensifiers — “truly,” “really,” “incredibly,” “remarkably,”, “profoundly,” used where they add nothing.

Gratuitous metacommentary — narrating the difficulty of the topic instead of just addressing it. “This is a nuanced topic,” “This is a complex issue with no easy answers,” “There’s a lot to unpack here.”

Epistemic cowardice / compulsive both-sidesing — refusing to commit. “There are valid points on both sides,” “It really depends on context,” “Reasonable people disagree,” “There’s no one-size-fits-all answer”….

The magic triple — always grouping things in threes. “It’s fast, reliable, and scalable.” Every time.

Synonym stacking — “robust, comprehensive, and thorough,” “clear, concise, and accessible” — padding with near-synonyms for false emphasis.

Faux profundity — “At the end of the day,” “At its core,” “When we really think about it,” “Fundamentally,” “In a very real sense”….

Inspirational summary — wrapping up with a sweeping statement that sounds wise but says nothing. “Ultimately, it’s about finding what works for you.” “The possibilities are truly endless.”

LLM-signature vocabulary — “delve,” “landscape,” “tapestry,” “navigate,” “leverage,” “nuanced,” “multifaceted,” “underscores,” “fostering.” Individually fine, but LLMs reach for them at 10x the normal human rate.

Cataphoric teasing — “Here’s the thing…,” “Here’s where it gets interesting…,” — false buildup to something that didn’t need buildup.

Compulsive listing — turning everything into bullet points or numbered lists when prose would be more natural.

Excessive bolding — bolding every third phrase as if the reader can’t find the important parts themselves.
