The junior dev who reads the ticket literally. Won't interpret, won't improvise. Just executes requirements to spec. Reliable like a Honda Civic: nothing fancy, nothing broken.
Interprets prompts narrowly and executes them literally. World map? Here are some rectangles with labels. Xbox controller? Some circles and text. Works, technically. The model equivalent of "it compiles, ship it."
Taste is judged on an uncapped scale, originality first. The space past 100 is craft today's models rarely reach.
Unique words vs. total words. Higher = richer vocabulary.
Average words per sentence.
"Might", "perhaps", "arguably" per 100 words.
**Bold** markers per 1,000 characters.
Bullet and numbered list items per 1,000 characters.
Markdown headings per 1,000 characters.
Emoji per 1,000 characters.
"However", "moreover", "furthermore" per 100 words.
