LLM cliché highlighter
Simon Willison Simon Willison
A developer created a browser-based tool that detects and highlights clichéd phrases commonly found in language model outputs, such as "no X, no Y" constructions and expressions like "sit with that." The tool identifies ten common LLM-generated patterns with toggleable detection, match counting, and sentence-level highlighting, running entirely in the browser with localStorage support. Users can now identify characteristic language model writing patterns when reading text, making it easier to spot AI-generated content or content heavily influenced by LLM outputs.

Tool: LLM cliché highlighter I got frustrated reading yet another article that was crammed with the clichés of LLM-generated writing - "no fluff, no filler, no jargon" type stuff - so I had Fable 5 vibe code up this app for highlighting ten common patterns that show up in that sort of writing.
