Deepfates Ties Intelligence to Clear Communication Over Jargon
Ethan Mollick agrees AI should apply theory of mind and avoid leaking jargon into user outputs.
@deepfates posted that jargon-dense styles in systems like Fable or Sol are not signs of inferior intelligence. He stated a hallmark of intelligence is theory of mind and the ability to communicate thoughts clearly rather than writing notes to self. Ethan Mollick replied that he agrees. Mollick added that even if the internal style is efficient, it fails to apply theory of mind because the AI should know users do not want dense neolanguage and that style should not appear in finished products meant for other audiences.
Some people think the heavy jargon-dense style of Fable or Sol are evidence of our inferior intelligence. But I don't agree. I think a hallmark of intelligence is theory of mind, and the ability to communicate your thoughts clearly to your audience. They write like notes to self

Ethan Mollick@emollickI agree, even if Fableish is most efficient for Fable, it is a failure in applying theory-of-mind to the user(s). It should know that I don't want to hear its dense neolanguage, and it should know that Fableish should not leak into the completed product for a different audience.
