That only works if the temperature setting is low. If you set it to 1 the it will pick something that’s 1% likely 1% of the time, for example, which should match human text
Definitely, should have mentioned that. However it is interesting that using temperature may lower the quality of the output and you may get a C and not the hoped for A+.
Could you run it once to get the A+ version, then feed it back that version saying "change x% of these words to be unlikely choices in a way that keeps all the meanings of the essay" to avoid letting the low-probability words hamper the main contents, just the way it's described?
As far as I know lower temperature doesn’t necessarily mean higher quality, just more determinism and less creativity so whether that’s desirable depends on what you’re trying to generate
Temperature above 1 often results in nonsense though
