Meh. Semantic Ablation - but toward a directed goal. If I say "How would Hemingway have said this, provided he had the same mindset he did post-war while writing for Collier's?"

Then the model will look for clusters that don't fit what the model consider's to be Hemingway/Colliers/Post-War and suggest in that fashion.

"edit this" -> blah

"imagine Tom Wolfe took a bunch of cocaine and was getting paid by the word to publish this after his first night with Aline Bernstein" -> probably less blah

These kinds of prompts don’t really improve the writing IME. It still gets riddled with the same tropes and phrases, or it veers off into textual vomit.

FWIW, I agree. Frontier LLMs are on their way to becoming competent stylists (I ask every major model release to write up a sample essay as Hemingway, and they are improving), but they are often skin-deep.

Even if it would work good luck writing with a new style.
