Feel I'm alone in noticing a huge uptick in flat, mechanical procedural prose online in the past few months 🫣.
Everything, even Vinted descriptions, now seem to use a kind of staccato set of state declarations written, presumably, for programmatic AI parsebots 🤖 than us befuddled wetware meat proxies (with one eye still half-glued from sleep) 🥱.
I mockup an example of what I mean below, cos it really is bugging me👇🏻

2026: FooPlayer
Local audio plays as pre-indexed file from disk. File decodes once into memory, so costs nothing. Streamed audio fetches live bitstreams from remote servers over the network. The player asks you to pick one, then continues.
