I agree, I think he overstated the desire to add fluff. It's true that LLMs now add a bunch of fluff by default, but I imagine that will get better.

I actually do the reverse of the example the author gave (bullet points - fluff). I give train of thought to an LLM about what I want to communicate and instruct it to use no BS and make it tight and it gives me a well structure short message with clear action items logically structured. It adds the minimal amount of fluff (e.g. "Thanks for taking the time to speak with me today") but it makes it a lot easier for the other person to comprehend, without using an LLM.
