If you explicitly make it go over the code file by file to clean up, fix duplication and refactor, it'll look much better, while no amount of "fix this slop" prompting can fix AI prose.

What fundamental limitation of these large language models makes them unable to produce natural language? A lot of people see the high likelihood of ever increasing amounts of generated, no-effort content on the web as a real threat. You're saying that's impossible.
- logicchains 7mo ago>What fundamental limitation of these large language models makes them unable to produce natural language? LLMs can get indefinitely good at coding problems by training in a reinforcement learning loop on randomly generated coding problems with compiler/unit tests to verify correctness. On the other hand, there's no way to automatically generate a "human thinks this looks like slop" signal; it fundamentally requires human time, severely limiting throughput compared to fully automatable training signals.
