alt Hacker NewsMaybe a hot take, but I think that example is fine. Less verbose than “the form is submitted” and there’s no ambiguity, it’s the English analogue to `form.submit()`.
In your other comment, “Talking also costs.”, it’s clarified through context that talking costs tokens.
I think it’s a side-effect of the AI companies trying to reduce verbosity and redundancy, which were my personal main complaints with LLM writing. Though I believe LLMs are still verbose, and I suspect it’s because they don’t know what to remove, and these are cheap gains where the LLM removes verbosity that is obvious but expected because everyone does it.
No, it is not more clear.
What is happening is this: the AI does not know when to be a more verbose in service of clarity, and when to be brief, again in service of clarity. There is no simple relationship between expression length and clarity; it all depends. And when they are verbose, it is usually a lot of words that actually say little.
That's the problem; there is some higher level reasoning they are incapable of when it comes to language usage.
