Hard disagree. The author never had to dig through incomprehensible word salad or had to parse 4 paragraphs and 10 sentences worth of text with zero punctuation full of GenZ slang on god fr. Reddit is full of it.

I prefer to read correctly formatted text. I don't care if you wrote it yourself or had an LLM "rewrite for clarity".

One of the things LLMs destroyed was the writing-style sidechannel. You could tell with reasonable accuracy whether something was worth reading (and/or trusting) based on how it was written.

Now every idiot has access to well-formatted text. I preferred when idiots sounded like idiots.
