It's hilarious. Anyway, this is primed on the words of a particular author. The one takeaway here is to get the results that you want, you have to hit a local minima, but it restricts the variety of what's said.

In short, there's a particular personality and world view that is conveyed when your prompt. If you just use GPT-3 in its raw sense, you don't get a consistent personality. The error most make is to believe GPT-3 has one personality out of the box.

GPT-3 also generates entire sentences in the way that the original writer said it. It does have an understanding of this world, so rather than come up with unique expressions, it instead mimics the entire phrase or sentence. I'll have to play with temperature more though.

I just realized that GPT-3 lifts these answers verbatim from somewhere. But with a little style transfer, you get uniqueness: 1- Life is a sequence of unexpected interruptions. 2-Life is a responsibility that can be transmitted by caring for someone else.

3-Life is spontaneous as long as you are not constraining it. Anyway, it's as if you are moving in a n-dimensional space and each space has its own character. You just need to move around more to get novelty!
