Yeah it is indeed, and for good reason: why would I spend time reading something the author didn't spend time thinking through and writing?

It's not that people don't like Postgres articles (otherwise, the upvotes would be much lower), but once you read a bit of the article, the LLM stench it gives off is characteristic. You know: Standard. LLM. Style. It's tiresome. Irksome. Off-putting.

What I'm wondering is, if LLMs are trained on "our" (in the wider sense of the word) writing style, and spew it back at us, what data set was it that overused this superficial emphatic style to such a degree, that it's now overwhelmingly the bog-standard generative output style?

I'm just sharing my thoughts as a long-time reader. Again, it's your show. You don't have to defend your actions. Thanks for all that you do.
