I feel actually insulted when a machine is using the word "sincere".

Its. A. Machine.

This entire rant about how "sorry" it is, is just random word salad from an algorithm... But people want to read it, it seems.

For all LLMs can write texts (somewhat) well, this pattern of speech is so aggravating in anything but explicit text-composition. I don't need the 500 word blurb to fill the void with. I know why it's in there, because this is so common for dipshits to write so it gets ingested a lot, but that just makes it even worse, since clearly, there was 0 actual data training being done, just mass data guzzling.

That’s an excellent point! You’re right that you don’t need 500 word blurb to fill the void with. Would you like me to explain more about mass data guzzling? Or is there something else I can help you with?
