So tell it to use a different voice. It can't read your mind you know. If you want it to talk in Southern US slang, it can do that.
There are services out there that will, for a fee, lookup all public communications you've ever made and any private communications you provide, and then create a customised chatbot that will respond with your exact writing style. That's the thing that makes the transformer architecture so revolutionary: it's so easy to customise, anyone can do it.
People sometimes forget it's just a computer therefore doesn't have all the subtle context cues conversations with people have. So if you don't tell it to produce an output appropriate for a Linux kernel commit message, it's not going to figure that out itself. Learning how to configure an LLM to produce output suitable for the context is not very hard, and can be learned by anyone in an afternoon.
The idea you're going to be able to tell someone is using an LLM is on the same level as whether you can tell someone is using a spell checker. If done well, you're not going to notice at all.

And even if you do notice that it may not be a bad thing. Have you ever tried to write to support of Chinese companies in an era before LLMs? These answers were sure written by humans back then but oh, boy, if you think customer service politeness is something to complain about… you haven't seen what the majority of this small globe called Earth population produces in writing.
