The think I don't understand is: why did the models become so much worse with time?
I seems to remember a distinct time during which Claude for example became incomprehensible and weird with its writing, whereas before it was reasonably OK, even if still not that good
Maybe new models training on the previous generation’s synthetic output is compounding the effect? LLM Ouroboros.
I find Claude’s writing unbearable. That ChatGPT offers personalization options (Base style, warmth, enthusiasm) and Claude doesn’t suggests Anthropic doesn’t recognize this as a problem. Plus, people sharing ChatGPT writing won’t all have the same voice.
