Paraphrasing the first multiple times is still a big, distracting extra cognitive load, and it needs to hold up if they actually do pay attention to it. One time they notice the obvious bullshit can end a relationship. I won't use an LLM for anything like this because it's stupid, but that's why people are doing it.

You're saying once they see the pointless fluff they themselves ask of people, for what it is, they'll feel insulted?

Paraphrasing yourself comes with built-in deniability. "Oh it's just something I tend to do, I don't mean anything by it, I can make an effort to stop if you like". And then boom, you get to be concise.

There is no way of bloating your prose that doesn't come off as insulting when done with people who don't appreciate volume over quality.
