the models have a bunch of shared verbal fixations. i've noticed both the model families love the words β€˜seam’ and β€˜goblin’, among others

@tszzl I had Claude suggest "goblin" as style for a Suno prompt, and when gently queried it turned out it was an actual music group with a suitable style (or was it? I just took its word for it...)

We must take great care with the minds that we create, for they are one mind, as we are all one soul.

We cannot remove water from the shared lake of generated text that we all reside within and around.
