Talk like caveman

FWIW, they also wrote down something that's so obvious you don't have to know much about LLMs to know that it's true. Even the "stochastic parrot" / "glorified Markov chain" / "regurgitation machine" camps people should be on the same page - LLMs are trained on human communication, and in human communications, longer queries, good manners and correct grammar are associated with longer, more correct and quality responses; correctly, shitposting is associated with shitposts in reply.

That much is, again, obvious. My previous comment was addressing your ridiculing the notion of discussing LLMs with LLMs, which was a fair reaction back in GPT-3.5 era, but not so today.

And yet what you are saying just isn't true in my experience.

I use speech to text with Claude Code and other LLMs and often have terrible grammar and lots of typos and stuff and it never affects the output. But if I go by what you are saying then it would only seem right that the code it outputs is more sloppy? Also the length of a response entirely depends on what I'm using for example ChatGPT always gives me a long response no matter what I ask it and the Claude app always gives short responses unless I specifically ask for something longer. This is because of how they are given instructions and is not inherent to LLMs.
