Why can't the bullet points just be used as is? Either they contain enough signal, or they don't and llm won't help anyways.

I fear everything will be expanded by llms soon. "write an email, three paragraphs, about X", instead of just sending X directly. Then the receiver gets a wall of text, and uses an llm to distill it back to X' before reading. Just hope too much didn't get lost in the inverse compression through llm.

Because it is a lot messier and harder to understand when it's not structured. Having clearly structured tickets lessens the cognitive load.

Short is not the same as clear and concise.
