> The new custom styles are available to all Claude AI users, enabling anyone to train it to match their own communication style or select from preset options to quickly adjust the tone and level of detail it provides.
>
> This update aims to personalize the chatbot's replies and make them feel more natural or appropriate for specific applications, such as writing detailed technical documents or professional emails. Three preset styles are available: Formal for "clear and polished" text, Concise for shorter and more direct responses, and Explanatory for educational replies that need to include additional detail. If these don't suit your requirements, Claude can also generate custom styles that are trained to mimic other writing mannerisms. Anthropic says users need to upload "sample content that reflects your preferred way of communicating" to the chatbot, and then instruct it on how to match the writing style.

People just don't know how to write prompts (Score:5, Funny)
You can already ask ChatGPT to write things using a certain style. I found it absolutely hilarious to have it write a "surfer dude" style message to one of my neighbors asking that they clean up after their dog.
"Yo, dude, like, totally respect your furry little bro, but, uh, I think he left some gnarly landmines out on the lawn, ya know? And, like, stepping in that is a serious bummer, man—ruins the flip-flop vibes, ya feel me?
So, maybe next time you could, like, scoop the poop? That’d be so clutch, bro. Keeps the neighborhood fresh and the stoke levels high. Much love, dude. Peace!"

Can it also somehow inject me with the fulfillment that comes from writing my own stories? Some of us enjoy writing. And in the cases where I don't enjoy writing and would want the AI to help? I'd rather it put out a professional and more polished version than I would want to cook up myself. Having an AI mimic my style doesn't seem like a selling point for anyone but the creative "industries" who believe all writers can be replaced with computers. Let them cook up their own shitty scripts without ganking us

No, no, no. I'm pretty sure fulfillment comes from the investors' rate of return. Writing doesn't sound like something that would be fulfilling. You must be mistaken.

And sadly, this is exactly the problem with putting folks who only see monetary gain, and absolutely nothing else about existence, as fulfilling in charge of everything. They're now in a position to claw away the few things the rest of us nobodies enjoy simply because they can't imagine why anyone would enjoy them if they don't lead directly to profit.

I'll paraphrase as I don't remember exactly. They were saying that AI should be folding laundry and washing dishes not writing stories and making art works - those are for people and they'd rather do that then fucking chores.

I totally get what you’re saying and I agree. One place where I’ve recently used AI writing (via ChatGPT) is to help fill out endless annual performance review forms for employer. I’m normally pretty articulate but I get total writer’s block on those things. Having something that can flesh out basic bullet points, in my own style, is really handy.

So anyone to whom you write could now impersonate you.
I've said this from the beginning: the main use case for LLM's is fraud.
I wonder if it could mimic your handwriting... like on a cheque... oh.. that really dates me doesn't it?
what's handwriting? what's a cheque? .. haha ...
I'll show myself out now.
but, before I go, why not get samples of your boss's writing style and use it to write up your review?
I'm pretty sure you'll get a really really good review.

Does this mean the semi-science of stylometry has become inadmissible in court cases?

Alright listen up! You know what's better than an AI that can write like a robot? An AI that can write like YOU! That's right, we've cracked the code on personalized prose here at Aperture Science. Our new adaptation algorithms mean our AI can mimic your unique writing style – whether you're a poet laureate or just really good at typing angry emails. It's like having a clone of yourself, but without all the messy ethical implications. So go ahead, test it out. Ask for a haiku, a sonnet, or even a stro
