Since we are talking about LLMs, what I've noticed about the Indian/Pakistani "LLM" is they almost always have this way of structuring thoughts:

1. They

2. Always

3. List

4. Things

And end up with a conclusion/punchline/takeaway.

I always wanted to ask, is that by training?

I can imagine all schools over there have a specific style, like all their assignments need to have this general form, and then they just get used to it and it permeates in their everyday life.

That's how all LLMs structure content, not just Indian/Pakistani LLMs.

I bet you haven't seriously communicated with others in a language that is not native to you. You'll probably end up doing similar things if you have to.

It's due to training (I suspect both OpenAI/Microsoft and Google have been training on their entire corpus of internal comms and technical docs). After almost 10 years in a FAANG I also tend to write like that.

Well, imagine that you noticed 3 things instead of only one.

1. The first thing

2. The second thing

3. The last thing

Makes perfect sense in that case.
