It’s not… why do I need to translate from Latin (or wherever these come from) to understand them? Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku do the same thing, and are widely known words. Not to mention all LLMs do is generate tokens; I prefer the homage to writing over a space reference.

Boy wait till you find out where "opus" comes from.. Do you realize how many words from Latin you used in that comment?

When was the last time you heard anybody say "opus" or "sonnet" before this?

Also it implies that "haikus" are inherently inferior to longer texts which may be kinda frown-inducing..

Everyone who speaks English knows Luna Terra Sol and Astra… no one cares what you prefer
