Why Claude text sounds machine-made
Claude writes smoothly and cautiously: sentences follow on from each other well, claims tend to be hedged with words like “may” or “often” and paragraphs end with a summary. One such sentence does no harm, but a whole page reads as monotonous.
The result is grammatically fine and often factually sound too, so the problem is not the content. What reads as machine-made is the regularity and the cautious tone that runs through the whole text.
