> "It felt too long" was right. The solution was not to make the story shorter. The solution was to look at the parts that felt long, and believe that feedback.

Smells like not adding value to the discussion.

LLM writing is not adding value to the discussion.

The slightly inflated rhetoric whose tells are false contrast and unnecessary parallelism let me know that a human did not spend time writing that comment. Why should humans spend time reading it?

I read the same thing and didn’t get that vibe. The parent comment added to the discussion regardless of origin.
