I went to the google doc linked here and I really wouldn't call this a book, its only about 33k. It's a Novella.

I read the first few pages. It's what I'd expected. It's a lot of telling, basic character information and a lack of what makes a character unique and human. It's a outline of an outline of a vague idea.

And likely the more specific parts were given to the AI and not created by the AI.

I think it really highlighted why AI can't really replicate literature, at least at this point.

Yeah, you are mostly right here. But, what if a good writer would to use AI, and give it the right inputs. They could probably do a lot of work in much shorter time. They need to have the right idea, and the right inputs to give AI.

Again, not defending AI here, I am just impressed how somehow, 'over night' (not really, but really fast), they got from those awful chat AI's that answer your questions on sites, but never answer anything while you are waiting for support, to this.

A good writer wouldn't need an AI to write their story for them and it would likely negatively impact the overall story they're attempting to make.

Using an AI to create writing prompts I could see. Using it to write a piece of literature I can't.

Well, I could mostly agree, but you do have some at most average book series, with like tens of books, they just publish the faster they can. Well, this makes it even faster.

But, probably more importantly, after I have seen this, I believe AI will be able to do much more then ordinary human, especially with guidance from someone who knows something about writing and has good ideas.
