I’m not sure that is a clue so much as actual boring behavior. I think using shortcuts as a warning sign is okay but the author here uses it as a hard filter.

I’m not sure that is a clue so much as actual boring behavior. I think using shortcuts as a warning sign is okay but the author here uses it as a hard filter. She lacks curiosity. She doesn’t ask the groom why he chose that venue. She didn’t ask how he used ChatGPT. She just cared that he heard about it from ChatGPT rather than what… from an ad in a wedding magazine? A google search? Asking friends? Hiring a planner? That lack of curiosity makes her look like a crap journalist and drives her delusional shortcut, probably to her own detriment.
