A study involving 81 participants explored the effectiveness of post-editing large language model (LLM) generated text to match personal writing styles. While post-editing did increase stylistic similarity to the participants' own writing and decrease similarity to raw LLM output, the edited text still retained detectable LLM stylistic traces. Participants often perceived the post-edited text as representative of their personal style, despite quantitative measures showing it remained closer to LLM text than their unassisted writing and exhibited reduced stylistic diversity.
