broader theory I'm picking up on about the AI rollout of 2023-2024 is two-fold: to implement it in as many places as possible even where the use case was ill-defined or actively bad, and to, by default, complete as many tasks as possible without asking the user for follow-up or refinement of an idea
ok i did my own research and this does appear to be the default output for a very lazy prompt, would love a technical explanation of why this is if anyone has one

A gentle hush surrounds the moment.
Feathers carry a timeless refinement.
Stillness settles among the reeds.
A whispered verse drifts through nature.
Nature reminds us that the finest treasures ask for nothing.

More refinement of my my giant lizard Vault Dweller. She's using a Robco terminal as a pip-boy and the front of a Fusion Flea as a belt buckle. Don't even ask what her Strength Score is.

3:24pm EST: Moon in Scorpio sesquiquadrates Saturn in Aries and parallels OOB Pluto in Aquarius. Good time for cautiously testing your newly-built structures, getting a feel for how they operate on "ordinary," "unimportant" days. Say yes to the process of refinement.

Door handles have one job! I'm not sure how much more refinement and redesign they could possibly need, only time will tell.

I don't think any of this really matters prior to CVD beyond a once a decade screening. It's all risk and statin; further refinement isn't particularly important.

Further Refinement to the Weapon Set lootable. In this idea, the loot dances and begs you to pick it up while pantomiming what you do with it. This is a Common Scepter/Shield, the other rarities work, but that's not quite ready yet :) #gamedev #humanmade

I must not forget that these coarsely-clad little peasants are of flesh and blood as good as the scions of gentlest genealogy; and that the germs of native excellence, refinement, intelligence, kind feeling, are as likely to exist in their hearts as in those of the best-born.

I'd say there's been progression but it's really just been hair/patterning refinement, I've always been big like this, just not great at telling peeps to draw me as such

They use the same objective function refinement technique that programmers use for reward-hacking AIs in a bid to prevent cheating by employees who hit their KPIs any way they can.

everything has a history - maybe it’s the history of that shattered sword and what broke it that makes it valuable and in need of refinement

Refinement types let single-value predicates be checked once upon entering the type, and then they don't have to be checked again even across function calls.
Static refinement types and conditions must be proven at compile time, so there's no runtime cost. Which gets Zena into Dafny/SPARK territory
