Rich people monopoly games. I’ll go back to my cute little local model

Never cared for corporate drama. Rich people playing their games, believing themselves to be the center of the world. Let the corporation burn

For creative writing, I prefer local models. I mean, GPT 4 writes awesome prose, but very neutered. You provide a passage you wrote yourself with some conflict or intimacy, and when you ask it to improve it even keeping the interesting points, it waters it down to bring it to the agenda that big tech and entitled rich US West Coast people want to force on us.

Whereas I use mlewd (no kidding) for non-lewd, creative ideas and it often works pretty well. Especially when I want to explore very crazy ideas, pump up the temperature and other parameters and you often get a bunch of ideas that, by working on them by little, can lead you to something.

Ask GPT 4 to come up with ‘an imaginative name to name mecha (armored) suits in my novel’.

It will always, always give an unimaginative list such as

NanoFrame, TechSuit, ElectroSuit, etc

It always gives a portmanteau. Very, very unimaginative. GPT 4 is great for many things, but not for creative writing.

GPT 3.5 is something I hardly ever even bother with anymore because by now, the only advantage over local models is that, along the extremely verbose, neutered, bland, unimaginative response, it still manages to hallucinate way less and provide factual data. The fact that half of the time it will not provide what you wanted, but something else, is another thing
