alt Hacker NewsIt's never been my read on people that wordy prose like this is done as a formality.
If a lawyer or am academic wrote it, it most often comes off as overly complex wording to prove a point of intellect or superiority.
For basically anyone else, when I see prose like that it most often reads like (a) they either don't understand the topic well or (b) they don't need to write it at all other than to stay busy and/or appear more valuable in a role.
A well-written, well-formatted email does convey some level of professionalism right? Even if it is a little wordy. Maybe this is no longer true with AI.
I went to a career fair recently and a new grad sent me an email afterwards. His three-paragraph email can basically be reduced to "I want to work for this company. I am qualified. Please hire me". But I don't know how I would feel about that if someone actually sent me an email like this.
