It's like reading legalese.
Or reading patents.
Terrible ... like someone put in effort to make it unreadable.
I thought patents were deliberately bad? Like, the point is to get the protection, despite paying as little lip service as possible to the "it's in society's interest that inventions get published" side of it?
Well that’s exactly the authors’ claim. Legalese and patents intent is not to facilitate communication but to maintain a claim under the most bad faith, hostile reading.
AI language, it seems, is optimized to support reasoning from the interior monologue.
