Thanks for the reply.
> reply to tweets of other people with a relevant Twitter thread I had already written
I noticed I also have topics I talk about regularly and this would be really nice. Some things only need one high-effort explanation and then linking to that.
Using LLMs would in theory save some effort by rephrasing to it doesn't look copy pasted but I am strongly opposed to the mild reality distortion they are prone to doing (like hallucinating random tidbits which never happened, using "A big part of this" as a rhetorical device instead of an actual quantity, etc.) in addition to flat out lying and other mis-generation (I don't call it hallucinations since this is normal operation, not something exceptional).

I mentioned in a sibling thread that I do this on Twitter (and it's a lot of fun to get to re-use old threads for new audiences).

Same thoughts from me. There is also a bit of "John Henry" [0] in that I want to keep my brain strong in this skill versus letting the machines take it away.
