> Worse: it's a conversation killer. There's nothing to respond to. Your wall of text suppresses dialogue. They can't reply, can't push back, can't clarify. It's a weapon disguised as helpfulness.

This has that slopccato feeling.

The what?
Portmanteau of slop and staccato I think?
>Or as Jean Baudrillard has said:

It is nothing short of profoundly ironic to quote Jean Baudrillard in this context.

That is a version anglicisée meme. I prefer the original:

« Le contexte réel s’effondre au moment même où l’on me cite. »

Ironically it feels like that site was itself written by AI.
I had a colleague that was typing such long answers (before AI era) to a simple question. It felt wrong, but sometimes I didn't even read what I heard him typing for half an hour. I was a new employee and he was responding to my questions, that's why I asked him sometimes. He was let go after 1 month. One of the problems was also productivity issue :)
I agree with the messaging generally, but unfortunately to fight implicitly unprofessional behavior with a terse response like this would look explicitly unprofessional!
