Good reminder that I need to clear out a bunch of excessive formatting for the next blogpost I am writing.
I am a massive headings and bullet point use in AI defender. Specifically because when I ask AI a question I am not looking for writing, I am looking for an answer to my question, or a walk-through/procedure how to do things, and in both cases heavily formatted text is the easiest to parse and read non-sequentially.
As for why I think I have a bad formatting addiction, I am tempted to partially blame it on my reading, which is largely academic texts, where everything is heavily formatted. I think this is the case for similar reasons. Considering that most of the scientists I know do not read a paper from beginning to end and instead go Figures->Captions->Conclusions->Intro->Theory->Results (or some similar order)
So anyway, disordered reading is another argument for lots of formatting
