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.

#10Ask 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.
