I think it presses a few buttons we probably recognize (if subconsciously) and find distasteful.
The verbosity makes me think of two things in particular:
- The classic essay written by someone who has 125 words worth of actual content but a 1500 word minimum. Those three paragraphs could be bullet points and convey the meaning just as well. The screen-filling chart of every test case you ran that came back green manages to be less actionable than a direct "one test out of 54 failed." I fully expect to see Claude tell us that "Support Ticket 8257 is a Land Of Contrasts" at some point.
- The sitcom trope of the person caught in a lie who figures if they can keep adding more and more detail he'll be believed and can escape the awkward conversation. Stop. Just stop. You're proposing a fix on a CODEBASE THE CUSTOMER DOES NOT EVEN USE. Cue laugh track, cut to commercial.
