Do you start every response off with "that is a great question"? I don't know any human who does. "that is a great question" is reserved either for really hard questions, or sarcasm. The majority of questions are not great, they are just things the asker needs a simple answer.

Introducing AI made markdown tags for conversations so others can only see what the wanty

Exception that proves the rule. You know what context that specific recipient needs from you. GenAI usually doesn't.

Came here to say this as well. I've written and read full human-written essays on slack before AI.

With that said, I don't disagree with the article. Don't use more word when few work.

Honestly, speaking as a friend, and as someone who's been at this a very long time, maybe stop doing that?

It doesn't foster conversion and I personally find it kind of a hostile/disrespectful communication style. It's much harder to have a proper back and forth with a firehouse than it is a few sentences at a time.

It declares authority "these are the facts" rather than "let's discuss ideas" and if you haven't fully earned that authority it honestly just kind of smells of insecurity.

If there's something in the middle of a wall of text that invalidates something much further down, trying to communicate the problem becomes a pain in the butt. It's just not a good method for discovery.
