Thanks for taking the time to explain. Having read your comment, and thinking some more, I guess I can see how the thing not learning what you would ideally want it to learn (i.e. writing "good") and it just mimicking superficially what good quality writing looks like fits the definition of overfitting.
I guess I'm not expecting it to even be able to do this though, like what I expect from the thing is exactly to produce some shallow mimicry. I'm actually impressed it managed to figure out these superficial things. Learning the em dash is associated with quality isn't wrong, you would want it to learn that.
Also, if the training data is tagged, would it stop doing the em dash if the correct tags ("email", "reddit", ...) were used in the prompt?
