It's not just that it's word salad, it's also that it's exactly the same. There's a multi-trillion dollar attempt to replace your individuality with bland amorphous slop """content""". This doesn't bother you in the slightest?

I now have a visceral reaction to being told that I'm ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!, for example. It seemed an innocuous phrase before -- rather like em dashes -- but has now become grating and meaningless. Robotic and no longer human.

I'm launching a new service to tell people that they are absolutely, 100% wrong. That what they are considering is a terrible idea, has been done before, and will never work.

Possibly I can outsource the work to HN comments :)

This sounds like a terrible idea that has been done before and will never work.

BrandonM as a Service?

Yeah BrandonM got unfairly maligned but it's still funny.

You're exactly right, this really gets to the heart of the issue and demonstrates that you're already thinking like a linguist.

For what most of us are using it for (generating code), that's not a bad outcome. This audience might have less of a problem with it than the general population.

Whether we have the discipline to limit our use of the tool to its strengths... well, I doubt it. Just look at how social media turned out.

(Idle thought: I wonder if a model fine-tuned on one specific author would give more "original" titles).

This is the default setting. The true test would be if LLMs CAN'T produce distinct outputs. I think this problem can be solved by prompt engineering. Has anyone tried this with Kimi K2?
