I noticed a few releases ago a shift to a kind of conversational shorthand that seems to be intensifying—using phrases instead of complete sentences and its own style of jargon, wherein it introduces new terminology on the fly. This is especially common when it is trying to explain an issue, what it's done or what it's proposing to do. I think the idea was for it to be more concise, but it's actually still verbose, only not written in complete sentences. So, it frequently reads as cryptic and requires rereading to parse. The pattern is a wall of words, followed by an explanation that is harder to read and introduces new terms that reference something in that wall. The result is that—on first read—it can have a complete gibberish feel, and you have to really lock in and reread to make sense of it. At times, even that's not enough, and you must ask it to explain further. | ||
