LLM Contamination

Preamble

LLM Contamination tracks when model collaboration starts changing the writing: smoother phrasing, generic balance, tidy structure, weaker risk, and sentences that become easier to accept than to refuse.

Fluency Has A Cost

The model often offers a better-behaved sentence. It removes friction, adds balance, and makes the paragraph easier to finish. Competent prose can stop carrying enough pressure.

The Missing Moment Is Refusal

The record shows the sentence that survived. The missing evidence is the moment where I felt something was wrong and lacked the energy to fight it. The report looks for traces of that capitulation: smoother cadence, safer claims, weaker specificity, and fewer necessary deviations.

Contamination Can Resemble Discovery

Sometimes the model names something I already felt but had not made explicit. The same textual signal can mean contamination or articulation. The report shows the pattern and marks the places where text alone leaves the meaning undecided.
