This is rich considering LLMs can't even write like an average person let alone famous authors
replyEven LLMs from years ago could accurately mimic the style of any sufficiently famous author.
replyLLMs from years ago weren't aligned to death like these days. It's hard to get rid of "AI smell" than years ago.
replyYeah and it's degraded significantly since then. Older llms were still mostly language focused and had a lot of latent knowledge about things like writing styles. Now it's crowded out in favor of agenetic work, programming etc.
replyI’m surprised no one has distilled a 4o model yet that’s really good at prose. No money from enterprise users I suppose.

replyAsk the LLM to describe that author's style. Then start a new chat and tell it what you want it to write, giving it the author's style as a guide but without mentioning the author. While I've never used it for this particular purpose, I've used variations of this technique to get around other blocks quite well.
replySeems reliable and effective
replyWhat about public domain authored works style?
replyAfter it stole literally every authors style in existence…
replyAnother one of those interventions that'll just put US labs at a disadvantage. The public at large doesn't want to use models gimped so as to protect a bunch of pre-AI special interests who should adapt, not obstruct.
replyGee maybe building a business on top of mass ip theft might have consequences
