The post is AI-written, so I did not read it. But based on title and abstract I'll have to disagree. The native content LLMs understand is text. They were literally trained on it. They much prefer it to any arbitrary structure you could come up with. We're used to think computers prefer content that is structured and binary etc; but with LLMs that changed.
