I'm noticing something else very similar but involving not necessarily junior roles with long messages, when they use these AI writing assistants that resume stuff, creates follow-ups, etc. Putting this additional burden in whoever needs to read it. It makes me think of a quote that says: "I would have written a shorter letter, but I didn't have the time."
I might be mixing the concepts of intelligence and conscience etc, but the human mind is more than language and data; it's also experience. LLMs have all the data and can express anything around that context, but will never experience anything, which is singular for each of us, and it's part of what makes what we call intelligence (?). So they will never replicate the human mind; they can just mimic it.
I heard from Miguel Nicolelis that language is a filter for the human mind, so you can never build a mind from language. I interpreted this like trying to build an orange from its juice.
