i'm not concerned with entertaining the umpteenth misrepresentation of Erato criticism, that erato being called bad to claude, deepseek, and such is tantamount to arguing any model made for specifically for storytelling can never be better than generalist instruct models, stop accusing people of arguing that, it's asinine.
erato isn't bad because it's specifically fine-tuned for storytelling, erato is bad because it is bad, overtaken in intelligence by countless models since that don't even need to specifically be made for storytelling to beat out erato in coherence, creativity, and yes in some cases the writing styles of these models dogwalk over erato's llama-inherited default
erato wasn't even able to escape the isms that instruct models shared at the time, which was and is one of the most enduring criticisms for it, and no, someone using that to upset angryanon doesn't magically make it either not a thing or no longer a valid crticism, erato is the most slopped model nai has ever put out
it didn't revive this thread, it didn't save storytelling, it didn't even make waves outside of the NAI discord, even if it released as an instruct model it'd have gone the way of mythomax
fuck off with this tired point, just admit erato isn't as good as current offerings elsewhere, why else would you be hyping up the next text model?
