We live in a world that sometimes needs a lot of “fluff” in its content for one reason other another. One easy example is search engine optimization. Sure, you could put a recipe and little more on your webpage, but then it wouldn’t be picked up by most search engines as prominently. So you need to bulk that page with fluff like “what is a cookie?” and “my husband normally hates cookies but he ate two of these when he thought I wasn’t looking!”

Writing that stupid fluff takes work. LLMs can do it with a lot less work. So there’s that.

It would be nice to live in a world where we could just, you know, not need that stupid fluff but if you’re dealt the hand that needs it, it is something that can’t be served by other tools.
