I'm verbose, and no one was ever interested in anything I ever had to say before. And, they certainly wouldn't be now if I used AI to do it.

These days I only bother commenting if I really feel I need to get something off my chest, but I don't assume anyone gives a shit. I frequently just delete my responses. I don't generally feel anyone needs what I'm saying.

It takes a bit of self-awareness to realize that no one is interested in what you have to say, so don't bother. And, I think it takes twice as much self-awareness to realize that they certainly don't care about what a bot has to say, unless they're the ones asking.

I have a friend/coworker that is verbose af (14min audios discussing something that could be compressed in 100 words) and is not that we’re not interested, but it gets annoying after years and years of text walls.

Being concise is an art by itself and it’s a really good way to express your thinking and convince people, it just needs practice.

I asked Claude to write a one word response:

Touché.

You write in the style of.. anime dialogue.

It's fascinating. I can almost hear the character speak it aloud.

Hm, I wasn't trying to. Baka baka baka, jim-kun!
