  • Haven't they been doing this for a long time already? I remember trying to copy Hunter S. Thompson's style many moons ago and getting a refusal.

  • I previously asked ChatGPT (albeit several months ago), as an experiment, to answer some general questions in the voice of Don Rickles. I’m hoping this capability somehow survives.

  • Wuddabout:

    Works unfinished at the time of the author's death?

    Abandoned works?

    Lost works? Prompt: Aristotle's work on comedy has been lost. Write a short treatise on comedy, using Aristotle's methods as shown in his Corpus and especially his treatises on Rhetoric and Poetics.

  • Doesn't matter; have DeepSeek. US AI companies are too busy shaving their heads into their own rear sides.

    I don't know what would happen when DeepSeek inevitably catch up though. Perhaps that's going to be how this wave of AI hype ends?

  • Ask the LLM to describe that author's style. Then start a new chat and tell it what you want it to write, giving it the author's style as a guide but without mentioning the author. While I've never used it for this particular purpose, I've used variations of this technique to get around other blocks quite well.

  • I've asked it before to write in a style similar to Orwell (either directly, or by following his published rules for writing). I do hope that continues to be supported.

    I just can't stand to see any more "Why It Matters.", and this trick seems to strip out the worst offenders

  • This is rich considering LLMs can't even write like an average person let alone famous authors
