Chatgpt very useful for adding softness and politeness to my sentences. Would you like more straight forward text which probably will be rude for regular american?





Yes. I can't stand waffle from native or non-native speakers. Waste of electrons and oxygen :-) that might just be me however. Know your audience ;-)

If we can detach content and presentation, then the reader can choose tone and length.

At some point we will stop making decisions about what future readers want. We will just capture the concrete inputs and the reader's LLM will explain it.


I don't think form and function can be separated so cleanly in natural language. However you encode what's between your ears into text, you've made (re)presentational choices.

A piece of text does not have a single inherently correct interpretation. Its meaning is a relation constructed at run- (i.e. read-)time between the reader, the writer, and (possibly) the things the text refers to, that is if both sides are well enough aligned to agree on what those are.

Words don't speak, they only gesture.


yes
