I really need to try Claude, but, well, so much to keep up with these days... FWIW, I've found that GPT-4 in the Playground is pretty good at creative text compared to ChatGPT-3, with a bit of prompting. It's still sometimes inflexible, but mostly works. (GPT-4 inherits a lot of the weaknesses of GPT-3 for creative text, unfortunately; you can fool yourself into thinking that it's genuinely learned to rhyme or what phonetics are, but underneath, it's still the same BPE-flaws.)
I am still working on some projects there - I'm most excited about an experiment into translating John Milton's _Paradise Lost_ into contemporary alliterative English verse, using an inner-monologue approach to revise it line by line repeatedly: https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/12pqqg6/discussion_translation_of_japanese_to_english/jgnvay6/ https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/12pqqg6/di...

GPT-4 suggested titling it _Perished Paradise_, and I rather like it. :)
