This is such a strange train of thought. How do did you get there?

I'm not literally saying you were social engineered. I'm saying all the incentives are there for you to organize your content.

Incentives to make things findable is more important to search than any technology.

I read that as, "you've learned to insert weird entropy meta-breadcrumbs just for finding"

so if i just index and search then i can stop writing like that?

Long before AI I remember asking people in code review to add comments specifically to make the code grep-able. Same for for privileging key value mapping to dynamic string concatenation.
