LLM is still too verbose, a real person Socratic conversation can interact a couple sentences at a time, not spew 1-3 windowfuls of low density bullet points.

I even wonder if this behavior is due to next-token prediction architectures, somehow.

I don't understand some previous complaints. It's dense and verbose seem at ends to me.

I know you probably don't consider it dense but wondering if someone can shed insight.

I find them like empty calories, like programming youtube tutorials. They maximize for feeling learnt instead of steady progress
