It's really striking how similar your description is of your progress as a writer to the progression of LLM quality, particularly in terms of long context windows ("the more I wrote, the weirder they became") and training ("I extracted what I needed"). At least one key difference is your ability to self-evaluate. That reflexive ability to realize your own shortcomings over time is why human intelligence is still more of a flywheel than that of machines...for now!
