I’ll point out you also violate this guideline.

Do you seriously read the article and not see that it is extremely low signal-to-noise? And full of non-sequiturs and strange unnecessary clarifications? And passed off as a research project.

“Claude, write an article about why agents use grep instead of LSP”

This would have saved everyone the pain of reading this.

As another user pointed out: “Training support is a hypothesis consistent with these results, not something this study proves.” is not a sentence a human would write, nor is it a sentence that a human should ever be made to read. I apologize for reproducing it; the article is chock full of these “gems”.

100%. This article is written by AI. The problem is it makes you doubt the whole thing: Did the person behind this do any work at all? Or is this just content marketing for an AI project - something that used to require time and effort - but now can be done by anyone with a click on a button.

Too bad. Because this is sort of an interesting subject.

Have you never read human writing before? Humans write all kinds of confusingly worded things all the time - it’s why we have editors even for writers who are the cream of the crop.

But also that sentence is entirely fine as it is to me, it’s pretty simple and clear isn’t it?
