Doctorow's point hits hard when you look at how content and web interfaces are being churned out right now. The web is flooded with low-friction, high-noise garbage. As someone building a content generation tool, the biggest technical challenge isn't making the AI write more; it's making it write less. We explicitly instruct our models to be 'High Signal, Low Noise,' force short sentences, and ban vague platitudes. If a tool just generates walls of text to appease algorithms (or fill up modal dialogs), it's just contributing to the decay. Short, punchy, and grounded is the only way forward.
