Yes, what I said should be falsifiable. The burden is on you to give me an example, but I can give you an idea.
You need to show me an LLM applying writing techniques do not have examples in its corpus.
You would have to use some relatively unknown author, I can suggest Iida Turpeinen. There will be interviews of her describing her writing technique, but no examples that aren't from Elolliset (Beasts of the sea).
Because the entire point is the LLM cannot understand text about text.
If someone has already done the work of giving an example of how to produce text according to a process, we have no way of knowing if the LLM has followed the process or copied the existing example.
And my point of course is that copying examples is the only way that LLMs can produce text. If you use an author who has been so analyzed to death that there are hundreds of examples of how to write like them, say, Hemingway, then that would not prove anything, because the LLM will just copy some existing "exercise in writing like Hemingway".
>Because the entire point is the LLM cannot understand text about text.
you have asked for an LLM to read a single interview and produce text that sounds similar to the author based on the techniques on that single interview.

Find an interview where Turpeinen describes her method for writing Beasts of the Sea, e.g.: https://suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk/meet-the-author-iida...
Now ask it to produce a short story about a topic unrelated to Beasts of the Sea, let's say a book about the moonlanding.
A human doing this exercise will produce a text with the same feel as Beasts of the Sea, but an LLM-produced text will have nothing in common with it.
