## AI overview

The article argues that LLMs have changed how people create, communicate, and evaluate written information, while many submission and proposal processes still assume that long documents reflect substantial human effort. It recommends prioritizing clarity, concise summaries, key decisions, tradeoffs, and actionable information over document length.

## Source excerpt
