@0interestrates i think we forget that older and closer-to-base-model writing is often just plagiarism
do you think the older base models (davinci and older) were actually better at creative writing or our slopradars weren’t as tuned
@aidan_mclau @0interestrates I was thinking the other day how the models have definitely read all of the books I'm asking them about but they are not allowed to reproduce any text from it so they just basically don't mention it at all. This seems suboptimal. to some degree the persona must be incoherent
