I love LLMs for technical stuff, but their writing style is horrendous. I also think it's bad form to waste fellow humans' time with walls of generated text.

I understand that it's probably a hard technical problem to get models to conform to a style without sacrificing performance in other areas. But I really wish AI companies would spend more effort getting them to write in a neutral, concise way and not like a middle manager on 80mg of Adderall.

I wonder if this would make it harder or easier to detect whether the underlying meaning of the writing is bullshit.

Definitely easier. It's the same for humans. You can tell that someone has little of substance say when they cloak everything in big words and elaborate metaphors.

Good old sesquipedalian loquaciousness.
