Are there any good writing LLMs out there?

I get that the mainstream ones have been RLHF'd to death, but surely there must be others that are capable?

This is called Hemingway because he was apparently good at communicating efficiently which made him a popular author.

What happens if you take the output of a mainstream LLM and send it through this app? Would that solve the issue of the original article?
