For this prompt I found Claude 3.5 Sonnet and ChatGPT o1-preview to give worse answers. It's possible them doing more complicated thinking on it constrained the answers too much, since both ended up with a more broad 'speculative fiction'. ChatGPT 4o was more creative.

The Alps are breathtakingly stunning. Long term goal is to get a job where I can legally live here and work remotely. The logistics of getting a Switzerland or EU work visa seem tricky though.
