Is it really too much to ask to spend 10 minutes writing something with your own words? Use the agents to draft and gather points if it’s really too hard for you to do it yourself. I opened the page, recognize Claude style instantly. It’s such a turnoff…

I use the concept of “breaks the social contract”, if you can’t be fucked to write it, why would I read it?

Agree on this, specifically that it's breaking _expectations_. Which, as it turns out, you can do without pissing people off by acknowledging it and resetting expectations. Three sentences at the start: "The following text is generated, not human-written. The intention isn't that you read it (if it was, I'd have human-written it) -- it's that you ingest it into your LLM of choice and interact with it. Hope you enjoy it!"

I think the real challenge is to figure out wtf you're actually supposed to do from all this flowery over the top claudespeak

Could you maybe get a human to write the site? You could pay them $100 or even $200.

I can't figure out what you're trying to say...

I dislike the writing style, but like the challenge offered.

Holy crap this Claude writing is actually impossible to read, it's like they specifically asked it to slop it up x10. The patterns are in every single sentence, every explanation of what the hell you're supposed to do is littered with fluff and analogies which change every time. I feel like I'm going insane. Can people actually read this?
