@molly0xfff Sometimes you really have to push an LLM to *not* rewrite your work every time… Even when reformatting or summarizing it finds a way to be ‘boring’.
@retri lol yep. in my experiments using it for proofreading i have to repeatedly insist that it not read the whole thing back to me, just point out any errors.
