I've noticed that out of all LLMs I've ever used that Fable is the MOST LLM; the text it produces is abomination. It's impressive how much I hate it. It is such an awful writer - it assumes the reader has zero context and therefore gives every single bit of context and detail - which is nice if you're writing a legal document I suppose. But it uses, niche, $10 words to describe every facet of everything it's discussing. I had it re-write some docs and I ended up rewriting 1k lines of of Fable torment nexus text to around 100. Because guess what, someone reading highly technical docs has a knowledge base that allows us to compress the topic into a much tighter representation.

Just praised Fable in another comment but what you're saying is also insanely true. I literally roll my eyes and cringe quite often at its output pretty much daily. I don't like to overload my sessions with skills but I've been using a "write-normal" skill I made just to have it rewrite outputs that particularly piss me off. https://gist.github.com/alasano/1c734fa055231a5defcfd213217e02b4 https://gist.github.com/alasano/1c734fa055231a5defcfd213217e... I'm sure there's a million of these skills out there, but this one is tailored to the stuff that makes me mad in particular.

  "the test is whether the sentence would work as a pull quote or a LinkedIn post. If it would, rewrite it until it would not." LinkedIn really became the default garbage example
