The article info is great, but why do people put up with LLM ticks and slop in their writing? These sentences add no value and treats the reader as stupid.

Duh, you literally told me that the previous sentence and 50 million other times.

This kind of writing goes deeper than LLM's, and reflects a decline in both reading ability, patience, and attention. Without passing judgement, there are just more people now who benefit from repetition and summarization embedded directly in the article. The reader isn't 'stupid', just burdened.

Indeed, I am coming around in the past few weeks to realization and acceptance that the LLM editorial voice is a benefit to an order of magnitude more hn readers than those (like us) for whom it is ice pick in the nostril stuff.

Oh well, all I can do is flag.
