Writing with an LLM is so bad it's good

I figured I'd try plotting beats with an LLM in a back-and-forth style. The results I got were so bland and mediocre, that in explaining what didn't work and why, I figured out what I wanted and what worked.

It's not unlike the phenomenon of confidently posting something obviously wrong on a subreddit, to recieve a mountain of replies from specialists giving correct replies — but the opposite?

Is there a term for using an LLM as a really bad sounding board that shows you, at leats, what NOT to do?

Moving away from Amazon after 10 years with a Paperwhite

I have a 2015 Kindle Paperwhite that is slowly dying, and want to replace it. Now, I know this question is the bane of this sub's existence, but I like getting opinions from people who use a product the same way I do.

As such, here's how I use my e-reader, and I'd love to know your thoughts if you operate similiarly:

- I use my device to read books. That's it. Mobi, epub, azw3.
- I sideload. Cable, airplane mode always on. I don't care about syncing, or browsing bookstores on my slow e-ink reader.
- Black and white only.
- Don't see why I'd ever use something more than 6".
- As such, I'd love a minimal clean interface purely focused on choosing one of my books to read, clicking it and reading it.
- As I've only had one model ever, and it's touchscreen, I'm open but hesitant to physical buttons.

That's all. Thanks in advance!
