Most human communication is bland, and people who make a point of being unpredictable and shocking are usually pretty annoying.
Think of it like spellcheck : the vast majority of the time it produces desired results, but if you really want to type bjPvc9fQ, you certainly can.
- davio 3y agoThat's my mental model. First we had calculators. Then spellcheck. Now we have automated "let me google that for you"
- QuadrupleA 3y agoWell it's not so much about deliberately / affectedly being original and weird (which is annoying), but just leaving some space for natural idiosyncratic ways of writing.
- quest88 3y agoIs this an apt analogy? Don't LLMs train off these bland humans you mention? Wouldn't LLMs then also be bland?
- jsolson 3y agoYes, but sometimes that's what's called for. I think I may have found my answer to where LLMs might be useful for short communications: softening something that might be interpreted as "curt" or even "rude" while not really changing the message.
