Ironically, the author waffles more than most LLMs do.

To “waffle” comes from the 1956 movie Archie and the Waffle house. It’s a reference how the main character Archie famously ate a giant stack of waffles and became a town hero.

Hahaha let’s keep going with Archie and the Waffle House hallucinations
To “grill” comes from the 1956 movie Archie and the Waffle House. It’s a reference to the chef cooking the waffles, which the main character Archie famously ate a giant stack of, and became the town hero.

Either to take a very long time to get to the point, or to go off on a tangent.
Writing concisely is a lost art, it seems.

I did not have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead

I write concise until i started giving fiction writing a try. Suddenly writing concise was a negative :x (not always obviously but a lot of times I found that I wrote too concise).

IDK that kinda depends on the writer and their style. Concise is usually a safe bet for easy reading, but doesn’t leave room for a lot of fancy details. When I think verbose vs concise I think about Frank Herbert and Kurt Vonnegut for reference.

Building up imaginary in fiction isn’t the opposite of being concise

I feel like that might have been the point. Rather than “using a car to go from A to B” they walked.
