@futurebird @grammargirl A friend asked me for help with their writing project. While I came up with suggestions, they were asking some LLM the same things, and writing in what *it* said. I pointed out that what it produced showed that it didn’t understand what my friend was trying to say. They insisted that it must be correct, grammatically sound and so on, and I said: sure, it followed the rules, but it lost the meaning and made your points more generic and vague.

Here is a Roman D20 carved from crystal in the 3rd century AD.@futurebird @jcastroarnaud @funkula I had a very similar thing, in high school, where I was the nerd with the rule books etc but my friends were too high and tripping all the time for any such structure. So I DM’ed from a spontaneous storytelling position, flowing with their wild digressions and keeping the story going, no matter where their attention and capacity went.
