To get a real story you need AGI that has some understanding of what it's writing about. What GPT-3 churns out is really just pleasant prose about a theme, but it's meaningless/directionless and won't make sense beyond individual paragraphs. It doesn't really make sense within paragraph either, but we're able to read meaning into any string of five or six sentences so it doesn't jump out as much.
- WillDaSilva 6y agoI'm not claiming that this is something that GPT-3 could ever accomplish, but I do believe there exists a middle ground between GPT-3 and full AGI that can produce creative works such as fiction novels.
- jdm2212 6y agoWriting a novel that holds together requires a coherent model of how the world works, and if you've got that you've basically got AGI. An AI author that can write a compelling account of a person or institution's behavior over a non-trivial period of time could also serve as a real person's manager and have a conversation with a real person.
