https://www.alphaxiv.org/ is a nice place to browse, search for, and read ArXiv papers which have optional AI summaries and chat. If you like one paper, you can get a list of similar papers.

To view a specific paper, just take original link and change "arxiv" --> "alphaxiv". For example: https://www.alphaxiv.org/abs/1706.03762

Gemma4-31b seems to be very highly regarded for creative writing, especially its finetunes. As for comparison to E4B, I can't say.

Creative writing is not my focus, so this is only secondhand information. r/LocalLlama tends to focus more on the technical side; if you want more creative side check out r/SillyTavern as well (but type of info does bleed over between them).

And you probably don't want to dump the emails first thing into the agent's context. You should insert a cup of coffee and the morning newspaper into the context, and only then the emails.

On the other hand (based on memory of research I did many years ago), in societies where nudity is common (e.g. African tribes where at least breasts are usually visible), there is a much lower rate of sex-related problems (sexual assault, etc)
