Verbosity is the tendency of generative AI to produce more words than necessary or repeat familiar phrasing. It becomes noticeable when prompts yield long, padded responses instead of concise answers. section 1.1
Recognizing padded phrasing
A verbose response may repeatedly use language such as “unwaveringly delve into vast landscapes of the rich tapestry of intricacies,” even when a simpler expression would suffice. section 1.1
Training-data patterns or biases may encourage longer responses or familiar structures. Verbosity can also consume limited response tokens, so inspect generated output rather than assuming its length signals quality. section 1.1
