The proliferation of SEO fluff makes it way too convenient to use ChatGPT instead.

I'm well aware of ChatGPT's ability to confidently say wrong things, but the cost of reading SEO fluff is so high I'm more than willing for that tradeoff.

Interestingly I've found that GPT also tends to use SEO fluff, likely because its trained off SEO-fluffed content.

The difference is that I can just tell ChatGPT to be concise and the fluff is gone

SEO is already full of ChatGPT answers. SEO is kind of a snapshot of ChatGPT…

SEO fluff in my experience predates LLMs -- But you're absolutely right how GPT is used to mass-produce SEO fluff

Wait, do you just tell it "please be more concise" to whatever you ask of it?

[rockemsockem]

Not OP, but yeah if you tell it to be concise it will be. With GPT4 you can even prescribe a maximum number of sentences and probably words too (haven't tried this one specifically). It will do it. It's a great tool!

With code questions I usually say: 'code only no explanation'. It gets a bit tiresome to type every time, but gpt4 is too slow to wait for it to 'type' the explanation

[rockemsockem]

Can't you seed a conversation with a prompt like that and then just ask your coding questions without retyping that every time?

100%.

I preface all prompts with "Be concise and ask follow-up questions if you need more information" -- Greatly improves the output
