The article argues that large language models (LLMs) have contributed to the decline of traditional paragraph writing online, promoting fragmented, “spaghetti writing” styles characterized by excessive line breaks and bullet points that disrupt cohesive thought. This trend, once prevalent only in social media, is spreading to other online spaces where thoughtful, contiguous paragraphs were once the norm, diminishing the quality of written communication. The author encourages writers to relearn paragraph structure to foster clearer, more meaningful writing and support a more literate digital culture.
