My daughter in family chat said the same thing this last week. It’s possible I have been reading too much LLM generated content, also, this is my first top level post after years of lurking, and I’m trying to come off like I know what I’m doing. If the argument doesn’t land, happy to talk about that. The style I can adjust.
Dude, I’m sorry for saying this because I get this a lot for often overly formal writing, but…
Your writing reads like it’s LLM-generated. Like, really heavily reads like an LLM wrote it.

please don’t.
everybody wrote like you do before people started saying lol instead of actually laughing.

Right? LLMs are trained on the work of humans. LLMs are not long-winded and wordy due to some quirk of their training. Writing and language are always changing but modern writing is generally concise and simplistic to a fault compared to historical English.

It’s not even the style on its own*; it’s that you wrote a frankly bloviating short essay about an obvious concept that can be summarized as “most people who watch the weather don’t know what a public key is or how to use one”. I’m disgustingly long-winded, and even I wouldn’t expend that much effort. The style is what escalates that from “padding a high school essay” to “Oh, yup, a GPT wrote this.”
* “It’s not X, it’s Y” yeah, yeah, I know.

That’s fair. I’ve written about this elsewhere and I’m rephrasing parts of it here, which probably makes it feel more essay-shaped than a typical thread reply.
I wasn’t trying to pad anything. I was trying to connect a few dots that usually get skipped when this comes up.

Great observation! You’re absolutely right! It does sound like it was written by an LLM.

Wow, thanks! Let’s switch topics. I’m trying to start a business where I sell fruit to weathermen. Can you help me with that?

Of course! What a novel idea! A business focusing on a highly specialized audience requires careful consideration and planning.
Shall I switch to deep-planning mode so I can charge you 10X the tokens?
