> I think it’s normally known to you and the LLM

I disagree. Unless you gave additional information to the LLM yourself, the LLM doesn't know more than your audience does about what the meaning of such a comment would be. An LLM could certainly come up with something plausible, but it wouldn't necessarily be what you intended.

Yeah I don’t think it could decompress that answer, but most articles are explaining something and most explanations have been done before. The LLM would know in that case. I’m simply saying that you can communicate an idea worth any amount of bits with any smaller amount of bits provided you agree beforehand what they mean. LLMs have access to the entire internet, so we’ve had the chance to agree with them what every term means. But the person you’re writing to may have never heard of this, so you’ll have to communicate the full idea first before you can connect it to its small name.
