Also one big tell that is hard to hide is making verbose lists with fluff but little actual informative content.

Ask an LLM to read your project specs and add a section headed: Performance Optimizations, to see an example of this

Another is a certain punchy and sensationalist style that does not change throughout a longer piece of writing.

One of my subtle favorites is the “H2 Heading with: Colorful Description”

Eg - The Strait of Hormuz: Chokepoint or Opportunity?
