I don't think it's true that no authors will write heroic fantasy anymore and I don't believe AI can write satisfying fiction at this point

>I don't think it's true that no authors will write heroic fantasy anymore

Seriously. There are eight billion people in the world, and OP is claiming not one of them writes this genre?

[(Anonymous)]

Nah.

Everything I’ve seen from ChatGPT longer than a paragraph looks like shit.

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair to AI this is likely a temporary condition

[(Anonymous)]

So Sturgeon's Law applies to AI as much as humans?

[(Anonymous)]

I have to totally agree, and this is one of my areas of interest.

[(Anonymous)]

Did an AI write this secret?

[(Anonymous)]

I commented on the original post that you must not mind reading, basically, heroic fantasy madlibs.

Hearing that at least one short sci-fi fiction magazine had to shut down submissions when they were inundated with AI generated stories didn't change my initial assumption at all.

Enjoy your bland cookie cutter short stories, I guess?

I never had any desire to professionally publish or sell my work. Most all my original writing has been or at least began as assignments, and most of my fanfic is drawerfic and all only written for fun.

But I enjoy thinking about the thought process behind a story when I read it; why this word choice, why this plot point, wow I wish I could do that... and "because an AI learned to ape lots of writers but doesn't understand any of them or what it's doing" just doesn't make for fun reading, for me.

[(Anonymous)]

+1 For me, thinking about the author's choices and the why/how of the story is part of the fun of reading. AI straight-up can't do that, but I guess, in OP's defense, it could probably pull off a tropey cookie cutter, if that's what you want?

[(Anonymous)]

From what I've read about ChatGPT, it's not even that it's imitating real writers. It does statistical modeling to produce sequences of words that are likely to appear together. So it's guaranteed to produce literally the blandest, most average "story" possible.

[(Anonymous)]

There's a special kind of petty malevolence in posting small-brained pro-AI flexing on a web 1.0 platform.

[(Anonymous)]

FS isn't web 1.0, we're definitely web 2.0, but your point stands.

[(Anonymous)]

I tried ChatGPT to create drabbles for one of my fandoms but the writing was way too cringe. Maybe I'll try it again with the new update.

Also, ChatGPT gives very weird answers when trying to get info on authors on AO3. Like asking who the biggest authors for fandoms are, what tags are used in which fandoms, most popular writers in a pairing, etc. Even accounting for the fact that the data is from last year. It's pretty funny. Asking about fandom stuff in general can be pretty hilarious.

[(Anonymous)]

There's plenty of people still writing those kinds of short stories, and if you can't find it, it means you're more interested in whining than looking. I'm glad you found a way to get stories you like though!

[(Anonymous)]

Wow. Your taste is bland as shit.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd say that's probably the case for a lot of people in the world, to be honest.

[(Anonymous)]

I said this before but copy/paste one of the AI-created stories you like a lot? It's hard for me to believe that chatGPT stories could be well-written.

[killnotic]

AI won't be worthwhile for a long, long time.

[(Anonymous)]

If that's what you like, no wonder you can't find any (human) authors writing it!

[(Anonymous)]

I've been using Chat for some solo text adventures/roleplays and occasionally asking for Rarepair fanfic... Even a mid-to-bad author would write better or something more interesting.

[(Anonymous)]

that’s not food that’s bait

[(Anonymous)]

Cute, but considering all AI is nothing without creatives to parasite on - your precious AI still needs real people for your shit fiction.
But have fun while that lasts :)

That's a weird sort of gotcha.

[(Anonymous)]

Haha, I'm not gonna pay for the stories that I couldn't find anyway.
