So much fluff

Thank goodness for LLMs

>The author's core message is about breaking free from a lifelong pattern of tying self-worth to constant productivity and output, realizing that true creativity and well-being require intentional rest and "revery" (contemplation/dreaming), rather than relentless striving.



As a counterpoint, I quite enjoyed the writing style. Not everything has to be summarized. To me, it was more about the human experience.


The author is literally an artist though. What you call fluff may be a worthwhile artistic and emotional expression.

If someone stopped at this summary they would have missed out on a nice poem by Emily Dickinson for example. Oh wait, let me summarize it:

> The poem describes how a prairie can be made using clover, a bee, and imagination.

there, that's better. no more fluff.


Oh, this is lovely! It's rare that I see such a clear cut argument for how _not_ to use llms.

People do argue for and against, but usually less effectively than what you did here. Kudos to clarity!


You're born, you live, you die. There, I have freed you from the rest of this mortal coil.
