>>512695434 (OP)I'm using AI to write a love triangle story with myself as a self insert and all I can say is that it's kind of like crack.
The AI manages to introduce enough twists and novelty that it never feels boring and I can refine the loose threads and out of character reactions with a few edits. It is seriously like a romance novel but you have control over where things go.
This stuff is still rough around the edges, you don't have like a fully contained "novel" in a sense because it can just keep going on forever if you want, and it lacks the cohesive overarching structure that an edited book has, but by the same token, I can't take a chapter in a romance novel and re-experience it with a slightly different response; what if he said this, what if she said that, what if they did fuck in his office that night, what would the consequences on their relationship have been, would they have been caught?
This is an entirely new genre of fiction. I don't think people really get that yet. It is exactly the Young Lady's Illustrated Primer from Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age, and Palatials in House of Suns by Alistair Reynolds is also pretty much the same idea.
I'm not even using a particularly good nor robust AI model. Bottom barrel pretty much, but I switch to a higher end one at critical/high tension moments to get a little better flow without going over token limits/having to shell out bucks.
People are absolutely sleeping on this shit.
