    Wuddabout:<p>Works unfinished at the time of the author&#x27;s death?<p>Abandoned works?<p>Lost works? Prompt: Aristotle&#x27;s work on comedy has been lost. Write a short treatise on comedy, using Aristotle&#x27;s methods as shown in his Corpus and especially his treatises on Rhetoric and Poetics.

    This is rich considering LLMs can&#x27;t even write like an average person let alone famous authors

      Even LLMs from years ago could accurately mimic the style of any sufficiently famous author.

        LLMs from years ago weren&#x27;t aligned to death like these days. It&#x27;s hard to get rid of &quot;AI smell&quot; than years ago.

        Yeah and it&#x27;s degraded significantly since then. Older llms were still mostly language focused and had a lot of latent knowledge about things like writing styles. Now it&#x27;s crowded out in favor of agenetic work, programming etc.

          I’m surprised no one has distilled a 4o model yet that’s really good at prose. No money from enterprise users I suppose.

    What about public domain authored works style?
  • Mountain_Skies26 minutes ago
    Ask the LLM to describe that author&#x27;s style. Then start a new chat and tell it what you want it to write, giving it the author&#x27;s style as a guide but without mentioning the author. While I&#x27;ve never used it for this particular purpose, I&#x27;ve used variations of this technique to get around other blocks quite well.

    Another one of those interventions that&#x27;ll just put US labs at a disadvantage. The public at large doesn&#x27;t want to use models gimped so as to protect a bunch of pre-AI special interests who should adapt, not obstruct.
