What’s that first sentence? I can’t find the breaks.

Sure sign of llm free writing, baffling sentence construction.

Them damn gen alphas having no sense of punctuation! Back in my day, which was when Millenialism was at its heyday, we used to put commas everywhere we, well, damn, pleased!

So did Edgar Allan Poe. As a non-native speaker, it's, to say the least, a challenging read.

Honestly I'm so old that I'm not sure if this remark is satire or an actual attempt to tell me that I'm out of touch. Is writing like this considered normal now?

Not normal but some people just can't leave Reddit.

I meant it as satire, yes.

I dunno, claude generates pure linguistic puzzles in javadoc.

Funnily enough, the underlying signal is what’s nonsensical; the individual sentences are always well structured

They are not well structured. They are syntactically correct. But, if a person wrote them, you would say they are badly structured. I have seen tripple negatives and sentences that should be split into four.

Took me a few reads too. I think the intended meaning is:

"There are those who are convinced that there is more to things; they spend their time chasing that 'more' but typically don't find it. And there are those who are convinced there isn't more to things; they find themselves frustrated at the abyss."

I had 0 issue reading it. Actually that's how I write as well.
