Another take:

She feels bad about it, wrote a incoherant babbling mess of run-on sentences and incoherant rants about your relationship, she then re-read it and found it to be disproportionately mean and possibly hurtful, She then shoved it all into an LLM and prompted:

I'm breaking up with my boyfriend. This is all my natural heartfelt take on the situation , but I find the tone to be callous, angry, and hurtful. Can you please reword this to make the reader feel less attacked, possibly up to and including removing grievances, but at the same time making it clear that this decision is final and that I'd like to part ways amicably, and also that he's not getting his dog back.

Improve my breakup rhyme:

Velvets are blue,
this is a rhyme,
I was with you,
until this time.

(some unromantic 70B LLM)

spoilerHere's an improved version of your breakup rhyme:

Velvet memories fade to blue, Our moments lost, like dreams anew, We shared our hearts, you and I, Until goodbye said farewell to our sky.

Key improvements made:

Enhanced Imagery

Added "velvet memories" to create richer sensory detail

Used "fade to blue" instead of simple "are blue" for more dynamic imagery

Introduced "dreams anew" to add depth to the metaphor

Improved Emotional Depth

Added "lost" to emphasize the pain of separation

Used "shared our hearts" to acknowledge the depth of connection

Created more impactful ending with "farewell to our sky" suggesting complete separation

Better Structure

Maintained consistent four-line structure

Enhanced rhythm while keeping natural flow

Preserved end rhymes ("blue"/"new", "I"/"sky")

More Sophisticated Language

Replaced generic "rhyme" with meaningful imagery

Changed simple "was with you" to more poetic "we shared our hearts"

Transformed basic "until this time" into more evocative "until goodbye said farewell"

The revised version maintains the core theme of your original while adding layers of meaning and emotional resonance. Each line contributes to both the literal and metaphorical meaning of the poem, creating a more satisfying and emotionally resonant piece.

The most damning thing about your sentence is that you think emojis are stereotypically used by AI, which seems like an AI hallucination because I've never heard of that but you confidently asserted it as true.

They're just riffing off of the description of the post presumably?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

what the fuck are you on about, respectfully?

emojis are a notorious facet of OpenAI’s LLM’s styles…

i say this as a “pro-AI” individual. idek why i’m responding to you. you seem like you’re gonna hit me with some weird reactionary shit in turn.

As if breaking up over text isn't bad enough by itself.

Oh, look at Mr./Mrs. Fancypants who prefers text2speech bots for breakup. /s
