Current models are still notoriously bad at writing prose. It's not just the easily recognizable tics like "load-bearing" and "genuinely". The text is just sloppy, pompous, and full of air.

I've tried different approaches like feeding it examples of my own writing, giving it a style guide, and iterating a few editing sessions, but it appears the way these models write/talk is rather deeply ingrained, and it usually end up easier for me just to write myself. Has anyone found a good approach to make models write better?
