People keep writing about "style", as if I'm asking models "hey, how do you like this, and how could we make it more stylish". That's not at all what I'm asking. I have personally decided, in advance, that one goal I have in writing is improved clarity. The model didn't tell me to do that; Joseph Williams did, decades ago. In the service of that goal, I've written down a proofreading checklist. It includes things like "look for overused words", "eliminate throat-clearing filler like 'it's important to remember that'", "make sure every paragraph has a clear topic sentence", "make sure my real verbs aren't buried inside nouns". Stuff like that. Those are stylistic choices, I suppose, but they're mostly the difference between bad style and a whole universe of good styles. More importantly: they're technical. They're not really judgement calls. The subject of a sentence either is or is not a character taking actions in the story you're trying to tell. It is better, almost always, if the subject is a character, and not accidentally some random piece of the scenery of your point. Models are very good at flagging these things. Humans are too, but they're not as thorough. Many people on this thread have suggested that having a model flag these kinds of issues bleaches out personal style. I don't think that's true; what I think is happening is that they missed the point I'm making, and assumed that I was advocating for having a model make broad subjective calls about my writing.
