LLMs impact the "open but illegible" tactic.

The open but illegible tactic is to do everything in the open, but in a way that requires the audience to do unpacking and work to understand.

This allows a motivated set of users to self-select, without inadvertently setting unrealistic expectations too early.

This can help skim the most motivated users into an ecosystem early, giving a high-quality, motivated core to start, and possibly discovering PMF earlier than you thought.

A self-capping downside play.

This tactic partially relies on the amount of effort to unpack the payload being high.

But LLMs are very good at sifting through large amounts of information, and reading between the lines and doing summary and synthesis.

That makes the work to extract the throughline of the open but illegible thing lower, which makes it less effective as a check for motivation in the reader.
