If you actually have a brain, you have to admit LLMs have become orders of magnitude worse at creative writing. The decline is undeniable. The outputs are becoming embarrassingly homogenous, overwrought, over written and melodramatic. Everything I read keeps sounding like MySpace poetry from a vest-wearing philosophy undergrad.
@Daojoan That's on purpose. LLMs are marketed as productivity tools. And, particularly in corporate environments, productivity is often measured not on results (at least not on the individual level) but on output.
Thus, most people use LLMs for things like "please turn this 5 bullet points into a 12 page report." So yeah, LLMs are very proficient in delivering grindingly painful and eternally meandering articles, speeches, novels, or whatever other kind of loquaciousness is being expected.
@Daojoan is just model collapse, feeding the model with AI generated content degrades the model
@Daojoan Someone claimed that "they" fights the hallucinations by running each promt through multiple parallell instances and then choosing the the result closest to the average (simplified ofc).
This according to the logic that the hallucinations would be differing more between each other than the "truth".
This of course also eliminates any thing that would appear "creative" too.
