I read about 80% of this and it ended up being more of a puff piece than anything. I'm not really sure what I was supposed to get out of this other than a description of one persons tenacity in general?

#12I can put up with a little bit of dramatic name dropping in an article at the start, but it never stops. Almost every paragraph is reads like some snappy autobiography of someone trying to impress the reader. I'm not even sure what the article is about, other than name dropping.

That's why I'm increasingly asking Claude to give me 3-paragraph summaries of articles that may contain interesting facts, but are also exercises in creative writing that I am unwilling to commit the time to.

Does it annoy you to pay an AI to explain what probably another AI wrote? One AI is fluffing up the word count to an unreadable level while another has to trim it back down. If every article was just the text of the prompt that generated it, it would be a much quicker read.
Sadly, incontinence-like verbosity is a phenomenon which precedes AI-generated content by quite some centuries. Whether this article is generated by squishy neurons of banks of GPUs is almost immaterial. Heck, it might even be good writing. I just don't care to read it in its entirety, that's all.
