What’s your explanation for how LLMs can create non messy writing without conveying a clear point, and in your view do humans ever do it? I’m finding myself simultaneously agreeing with your first claim and also thinking “but English class”, and I’m not sure how to square these conflicting ideas.
English class always seemed to me to be about saying absolutely nothing in flowery language. Almost like a politician speech, where the point is to talk in such a way that the point is to make the words sound so nice that you don’t notice that the content is missing. Only I don’t think it’s intentional, just a byproduct on focusing on the language without having anything interesting to say.
