I'm a fiction writer. The way you make AI better at writing prose is the same way you make a fiction writer better at writing prose...
You edit it manually.
That's it. There are no shortcuts to good prose, except perhaps paying a ghost writer.
Pompous and full of air really sums it up well. As such I usually have to completely ignore and rework generated README / code comments.
Is this just an elaborate scheme to increase in/out token churn or are we hitting some kind of LLM limitations I wonder?
there is a skill named "avoid ai writing" on github it won't make your text as good as human text, but it will help with the most visible red flags
What is your goal? What are you trying to have it generate that is not more appropriate for you to write yourself?
