I very much agree with this. I had several experiences where I wanted to express something in a very particular way, told a LLM about it, and what came out was just so generic that it really wasn't authentic. It didn't represent me at all, not the morals I have, not the way I talk, not the way I want to express things. I do think more and more that authenticity and character are what we need to preserve with all power we have if we don't want the internet to become just a gateway for generic back and forth. After all, the internet was introduced so humans could connect and share.

Yeah. It's a smoothing function. Just an averaging of all of our writing. (Which, imo, makes it bland and boring.)

My favourite people, interactions, stories are all from those who are outside of that bell curve peak. I want weirdness and quirk.
