It's not that it fundamentally isn't able to produce something concise, it's that the business model of the companies developing these models rests on selling tokens...


because human writing IS not just producing the Next token, sometimes you write shit and then go back and find ways to improve and try to play tricks inside the structures only you or your coauthors understand. AI doesnt do this


Exactly! That's also why almost every slop commit I see has a linecount like +700 / -20, whereas human commits often end up net zero. I try to remove more lines than I add, if possible, but LLMs will just add more bloat, forever.


It’s not some conspiracy. If they knew how to make the AI responses better and more concise, they would. They just don’t yet.


I don’t know. The old models were much more concise, answering your question in a couple of sentences. At some point they just started outputting walls of text for every prompt.


It's not a conspiracy to say it's unwise to expect a company to drive a research & product direction that will directly impact their reduce. Some might be smart enough to realize it's the right long game, but it takes leaders who understand and plan out second order consequences.


Bullshit. It would cost them more money to post process all the bullshit and then ship that, instead they just point the cannon at your face and pull the trigger.
