Why Do LLMs Rely on Raw Intelligence Over Effective Communication Post-Training?

@mattslotnick raises an interesting question regarding LLM capabilities: why aren't models post-trained on "effective writing" guides, or if they are, why does it seem ineffective?

He notes that for humans, extreme intelligence doesn't necessarily equate to being an effective communicator, and an inverse correlation often exists. He wonders why AI models seem to rely on raw intelligence in this domain rather than more functional post-training, suggesting that improving this area could be of high value.
