Not everyone appreciates having his speech characterized as "academic" - in certain circles, it's viewed rather poorly - so I'm not convinced of the glazing hypothesis.

ChatGPT certainly makes distinctions. If I give it a blog post written by a philosophy professor, I get "formal, academic, and analytical". If I feed it an article from The Register, I get "informal and conversational". The justifications it gives are accurate.

"Academic" may simply mean that your writing is best characterized as an example of clearly written prose with an expository flavor, and devoid of regional and working class slang as well as any colloquialisms. Which, again, points to my RP comparison.

Does an average user appreciate this?

Do you?

The first question matters because frying an AI with RL on user feedback means that the preferences of an average user matter a lot to it.

The second question matters because any LLM is incredibly good at squeezing all the little bits of information out of context data. And the data you just gave it was a sample of your writing. Give enough data like that to a sufficiently capable AI and it'll see into your soul.
