@lukadjo I'm trying different things.
One of them was having it generate full essays in one go after supplying a shitload of background info, and modify the request to get different writing styles or structures. I thought it would give me ideas on how to approach my post, but the pacing tends to be very off and focuses on the wrong things.
My current method is providing less background info and having it write just an opener. The quality with this method is way better, and it's easier to observe how the writing changes depending on how I change my request. This helps me see how I could improve my structure and phrasing to be more varied and interesting, and it also gives me new ideas I hadn't considered before.
