It's really striking how similar your description is of your progress as a writer to the progression of LLM quality, particularly in terms of long context windows ("the more I wrote, the weirder they became") and training ("I extracted what I needed").

At least one key difference is your ability to self-evaluate. That reflexive ability to realize your own shortcomings over time is why human intelligence is still more of a flywheel than that of machines...for now!

Oh, you've pointed out something interesting to me. Indeed, I'm honing my writing skills by writing more and reviewing them more often. It's like an endless loop.
