I have seen people saying this for a long while now. I don't know how to say this but I understand Ai stuff better than non-Ai. When I see people complain ; I always wonder why because I think that its pretty good with my own senses.. Much much better than my writing skills... My brain has been tuned by computers I suspect .

Have you read entirely generated documentation of code? I wouldn't say it's not understandable but it's no where near good quality human documentation.

I think the problem is that LLMs are verbose. They’re like business or self-help books— a lot of filler.

I think it’s a reading comprehension level kind of thing. If I slow right down, it’s all there and understandable. But the quality of prose is terrible. It doesn’t lend itself to fast skimming. So it feels like I have to slow way down to understand it. To be fair a lot of humans at work write this poorly as well.
