> I fucking love writing. Most people I know also fucking love writing, and I do mean love.

One can tell from the opening of your comment. Composition, cadence, vocabulary, repetition. It ties together.

I prompted an LLM to produce an enthusiastic expression around writing, but it came up with drivel like

> Writing fills my heart with pure delight, igniting my soul and inspiring my mind with boundless creativity.

I found myself tempted to instruct it on how to write well but that sort of defeats the point.

And maybe I suck at prompting but the appropriate combination of profanity, brevity, yet seriousness was hard for me to get it to do.

Sarcastic critic of the following initial sentence:

> I fucking love writing. Most people I know also fucking love writing, and I do mean love.

Well, well, well. If it isn't the unabashed, unfiltered bard of the 21st century. Look at the sheer depth of passion here, folks! We've got 'fucking love' not once, but twice, because why not? Repetition is the spice of life, after all. And such eloquent use of the F-word, too. Truly, Shakespeare would be jealous.

Also, let's take a moment to appreciate the vague and incredibly relatable 'most people I know.' Because who doesn't know a handful of people who also 'fucking love' writing? Clearly, this is the universal experience we've all been waiting for.

And then, the pièce de résistance, 'and I do mean love.' As if the preceding profanity didn't quite hammer home the sentiment. Thanks for the clarification. We were worried you only 'kinda liked' writing. A masterpiece of modern literature, truly.

Great. Now show us what initial sentence you'd have used, same style. Just one brief impactful sentence with the same level of familiarity.

"Writing is my jam, and I swear, everybody I know is just as stoked about it – and I mean stoked."

I wonder if someone has tried to chain ChatGPT's output with static analyzers/compilers/linters in a loop to improve the final response.

And yet, my default go-to example with me being personally unimpressed with ChatGPT 3 and 4 is getting it to output a valid NGINX configuration without hallucinating, despite feeding it the required documentation, the original Apache .htaccess file, and telling it what URL rewrites would be required. This should not be a difficult thing, but it constantly hallucinates things that aren't there because it's an LLM, and that's what LLMs do, they predict the next word.

Whilst to the untrained eye, sure, the NGINX config looked great, but it didn't function, and it didn't include the URL rewrites as instructed, hallucinated a bunch of rewrites that didn't exist and would serve no purpose, and despite refining the prompts over many days, and consulting with self-proclaimed "prompt engineers", it still didn't give the expected output.

It's neat. Reliable? Not in my experiences for my needs, but I am genuinely glad you're making it work for what you need, that's definitely cool, provided it doesn't hallucinate in an unnoticed capacity. It's a lot of trust to place in an LLM.

Here's an experiment that showcases GPT-4 deep (meta)semantic abilities:

https://pastebin.com/8FwQzDiE

TL;DR. I start by asking it to generate sentences where subject-object inversion yields a meaningful sentence where the verb's meaning is shifted metaphorically. For instance "I smoke the cigarette vs the cigarette is smoking me". After some back and forth it comes up with:

The painter captures the landscape vs. The landscape captures the painter. The gardener shapes the garden vs. The garden shapes the gardener. The chef creates the dish vs. The dish creates the chef.

Maybe that will change your mind.

Technically unrelated but driven by the same passions:

"Everyone is the other and no one is himself." – Heidegger, Being and Time

"The writer speaks to seduce us, as in the past. He still watches for the admiration that his talent inspires in our eyes. One might say he does everything to make himself hated. No doubt, but that is because he can no longer openly court us. He must first convince himself that he is not seeking to flatter us. Thus, he will court us negatively, in the manner of Dostoevsky's passionate characters." – Girard, Romantic lies And novelistic lies.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Demons:

- If you want to overcome the whole world, overcome yourself.

- God is necessary, and therefore must exist... But I know that he does not and cannot exist... Don't you understand that a man with these two thoughts cannot go on living?

- My friend, the truth is always implausible, did you know that? To make the truth more plausible, it's absolutely necessary to mix a bit of falsehood with it. People have always done so.

- In sinning, each man sins against all, and each man is at least partly guilty for another's sin. There is no isolated sin.

- I do not wish you much happiness--it would bore you; I do not wish you trouble either; but, following the people's philosophy, I will simply repeat: 'Live more' and try somehow not to be too bored; this useless wish I am adding on my own.

- You cannot imagine what sorrow and anger seize one's whole soul when a great idea, which one has long and piously revered, is picked up by some bunglers and dragged into the street, to more fools like themselves, and one suddenly meets it in the flea market, unrecognizable, dirty, askew, absurdly presented, without proportion, without harmony, a toy for stupid children.

- I got entangled in my own data, and my conclusion directly contradicts the original idea from which I start. Starting from unlimited freedom, I conclude with unlimited despotism. I will add, however, that apart from my solution of the social formula, there can be no other.

- You are in the grip of a desire for martyrdom and self-sacrifice; conquer this desire as well, set aside your pages and your intention--and then you will overcome everything. You will put to shame all your pride and your demon! You will win, you will attain freedom...

Sorry for the confusing post, I'm digging into the details and what I said is basically what Kim Dot Com said around a week ago:

https://twitter.com/KimDotcom/status/1649574074732154880

> False claim 6: Dotcom claimed that he worked with Seth Rich.

> Truth: Seth Rich contacted me and offered information about the DNC. I rejected receiving the data personally and forwarded him to someone close to Wikileaks. That’s how Wikileaks got the DNC and Hillary Clinton leaks.
