Love that In work we try to minimize the words as much as possible.

Key reasons come to mind:

  1. global audience and people need to put it into translator.
  2. some people we work with are dumb as doornails and ideas need to be simplified.
  3. no one wants to read 5 paragraph for a simple we don’t know what color you wanted.
  4. ain’t nobody got time for that.

Those extend the paper as long as possible skills are useless in the real-world.

CEOs, politicians and business people disagree.

I mean, they are useless in the big picture.

It’s funny cause boss is always trying to hide information to business people. They tend to get overwhelmed if we don’t.

What about job applications?

Those skills are used when filling out forms that are going to be AI processed and need to have all the keywords from the job ad jammed into each answer.

I wouldn’t know wtf HR doing. Those are the same POS that demand 15 years experience for something that came out 2 years ago.

I scared future is putting tiny tags in background to look like a elegant pattern so AI reads it but person just sees the good stuff. even still it’s min max words. Can’t fit the whole dictionary on one page.

A major turning point in one’s academic journey is when you go from struggling to compose a lengthy and impressive essay to struggling to compose a concise and accessible essay (otherwise known as the “too-short-and-basic to too-long-and-pompous shift”). Sometimes this takes leaving academia and realizing that your masterpiece work doesn’t mean shit if no one bothered to read it.

I was an engineer is school. I’ve always been good at fluffing up my writing, but it always annoyed me that I had to make things longer when I felt like I was already done.

When one of my first engineering reports said “this has to be no more than 2 pages long” as opposed to “at least” I knew I had chosen the right school. Lol

ChatGPT in a nutshell

Unfortunately the average person prefers flowery language for some reason. So that’s what OpenAI optimized for.

If you tell it to be precise and short it usually works fine.

Well, sort of

It does generate nonsense, but unlike Calvin the ChatGPT is generating nonsense based on nonsense sample data, so Calvin’s is still better.

I know hating ChatGPT is trendy, but while I think this AI boom is absolutely idiotic and LLMs aren’t suitable for a lot of the things people try to use them for, I think there’s a real tendency for people to make it seem like everything about them is garbage. Pretending that even their training data is “nonsense” is just silly

It’s not “trendy,” if anything liking it is “trendy,” hating it is the educated stance.

Clearly you failed to understand the “prompt” because the context in which we’re discussing this is supposed to be about intentionally creating nonsense.

Furthermore, Calvin is well aware that he’s talking nonsense.

Calvin, and others like him, are the reason AI is like this.

Yeah but that hardly affects the quality of the output, except for some fringe contextual cases.
