I agree, anecdotally I've always noticed a huge amount of my peers lacked professional communication skills even pre-LLMs.
A lot of people get this idea that "more verbosity = better" instead of optimizing for conciseness and information-density. I largely blame minimum word-count essays from school assignments.
- hluska 10d agoWould you like me to edit this mess for you? You’re way too verbose..
- finaard 10d agoVerbosity can be fine, but you'd want a simple enough text, with the verbosity separated. I still write emails with footnotes, and thanks to UTF-8 I now have all the numbers available. Amusingly enough the advent of HTML-emails didn't produce any better formatted mails, despite the extra formatting options, than what you can do with a plain text email supported by a proper text editor.
