What I find particularly irritating is that you can actually prompt the fcking AI to be short.

> Writing documentation is arduous and a little painful, which as it turns out is a good thing as it incentivizes the writer to be as succinct as possible.

It takes more effort to be brief, even for humans. Good documentation writers were always brief.
