It is that we HAVE to skim because the text is so cheap, and it wears us out.
- Cthulhu_ 2mo agoI think we as professional documentation-readers already skim most content (speaking for myself, I realized I was googling and skimming for answers 20 years ago instead of reading documentation end to end), but AI generated content has the same problem as marketing speak in that it's a lot of fluff. It's understandable people don't read but feed stuff into their own AI again to bring it up to their standards or have it get to the succinct point.
