I'm not surprised. I've seen Opus frequently come up with such weird reverse logic in its thinking.

Hello Gemini

Lol. A lump of metal can't be sentient.

What do people expect? You use an LLM, don't tell it your preferred writing style and get annoyed when it falls back to defaults.

All those tropes have their place in certain contexts. AI overusing them is because they have no memory across all they've written.

Each conversion is a new chat so it's like "I haven't used delve in a while, think I'll roll out that bad boy"

And then you try to fix this by telling it what not to do which doesn't work very well, so...

And the "final version" statement. Irrelevant as obviously it has no idea how many iterations you'll go through
