For a year the prose on my site read like an LLM made it, for the honest reason that an LLM often did. The fix wasn't a better prompt. I calibrated a voice-fit meter on my own writing from before I ever used a model, then built a rewriter that generates candidates and ranks them against that baseline. The surprise was what the meter flagged. Not vocabulary, not the em dashes even. Rhythm. Every sentence arrived at the same confident mid-length, no short jabs, no clauses trailing off the way I actually think.
