This is rich considering LLMs can't even write like an average person let alone famous authors

Even LLMs from years ago could accurately mimic the style of any sufficiently famous author.

LLMs from years ago weren't aligned to death like these days. It's hard to get rid of "AI smell" than years ago.

Yeah 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.

No, the latent knowledge is larger than ever, as verified by many benchmarks (and instances like people being shocked by truesight of obscure forum posters). This is 100% a chatbot personality/alignment/post-training thing.

I’m surprised no one has distilled a 4o model yet that’s really good at prose. No money from enterprise users I suppose.

At best it can use some of the same vocabulary. Often not even then.

Wuddabout:
Works unfinished at the time of the author's death?
Abandoned works?
Lost works? Prompt: Aristotle's work on comedy has been lost. Write a short treatise on comedy, using Aristotle's methods as shown in his Corpus and especially his treatises on Rhetoric and Poetics.

Haven't they been doing this for a long time already? I remember trying to copy Hunter S. Thompson's style many moons ago and getting a refusal.

After it stole literally every authors style in existence…

Ask 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.

Seems reliable and effective

What about public domain authored works style?

Another 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.
