This is something I've been deep into recently. Just a couple of days ago I published a short paperback story (grimtalesbook.com) written and illustrated by AI - GPT-3 for the writing in this case. I liked the analogy aimor made in this thread between the level readiness of autonomous driving and autonomous writing. From my experience that feels right, we're not at L5 yet - you can't just let the AI write continuously because you'll just end up with junk wrapped around some nuggets of gold. In the future if we get to 'L5' writing, your child will have the ability to say 'OK Google, tell me a story about my adventures as a dragon slayer' and Google will respond happily with a perfect bedtime story. And the next day, you'll get a physical copy of that story in the mail. Luckily, that future isn't here yet. The way Grim Tales was written with GPT-3 was by using some human intervention to keep the AI on track to write a cohesive narrative with a plot and dialogue. A couple of rules like removing anything that doesn't progress the narrative, and keeping the narrator in first person meant that the story was far more readable and didn't meander around like common examples. Right now - for professional writers - AI is probably good enough as a co-pilot used to create alternate scenes at points in the narrative, or as a tool to help with writers' block.
