I would argue that not only is it is reasonable to say that there a "mind" in some LLM's, it is actually a representation of pieces of thousands or millions of minds. I think that is a much more useful way to think about them.

An "aggregation" of millions of minds. It's interesting to see what happens when we reinforce the quality output (ourselves - this may be subjective) and remove the slop; would it become less sloppy?

Rarely do I find the result of one of my queries to be slop. Frequently do I find the outputs posted by other people to be slop. This probably has nothing to do with the results, and everything that I'm looking for when reading.

When I query, most of the time I'm looking for something in the output, not the framing of the output -- which is often the slop part.

I doubt the thing that makes outputs feel like slop can really be reinforced away.

I always tell chatbots to reply in prose and to absolutely not use bullet points because I've grown allergic to these.
