This might be the reason for Markdown support, LLMs love it.

I love it too, because it's easy to write and copy, compared to formatted text

Agreed.

Notepad's got Markdown, it's what LLMs crave.

What’s the point of your comment?

We know that markdown is text, we understand that text is text.

LLMs have very obviously been intentionally trained to work with markdown, specifically. Its prominence in LLM output far outweighs the real-world existence of raw Markdown online.

That’s the point that was being made.

What’s next. Are you going to say stochastic parrot?

Me, too. Oh my god, I might be an LLM.
