AI is already killing authors' voices. Let's not self-mutilate our prose in order to hit some imaginary standard of optimal reading time. Maybe it's a good thing for a reader to have to slow down and think about what they are reading, instead of swallowing it whole without reflection.
Do not listen to all the writing advice you hear. Think about it before you take it into your own craft.
