it's this one here:
and the bit I keep coming back to is:
Here’s a boring sentence I wrote: “Quinn entered the dark and cold forest.”
And here’s a sentence Rephrase gave me: “Quinn shivered as he stepped into the cold, dark forest, the air thick with the scent of damp earth.”
I can build off that! Now I’m more excited to write this scene that was feeling bland.
this is so weird to me. like, ok, first off, the whole premise here is oh look how this tool let me replace a boring placeholder sentence with something better? but the llm's sentence also feels pretty "it was a dark and stormy night" tier to me you know? this is nothing to (literally) write home about surely. it's, by definition, a statistically cliched sentence and it shows.
but it's also like... ok you've allowed a statistical algorithm to make a ton of choices for your setting and narrative here! did you even notice?
I just love how they compliment sandwiched the shit out if it.
"Here's two suggestions that aren't wrong but are also so ubiquitous they're completely unhelpful, the "have you tried turning it off and turning it back on" of writing advice. Here's a plug for an LLM. Here's a final tip so limp it make the first two look revolutionary."
