Eternal Recurrence – An experiment in generative creative writing

• dweekly 4y ago
  I read one of these a few days ago and found it profoundly unsettling. It wasn't just the content, but the way the story was put together. It seemed... off, in a way that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I don't know if it's just me, but I find these stories really creepy. There's something about the way they're put together that feels really unnatural, like something is not quite right. It's almost like they were written by a machine, which I guess they were. Anyway, they give me the willies. (The above was generated with the GPT-3 prompt "Hacker News comment about a randomly generated AI story")

    Muhahaha. The stories are actually great. Much better than the average blog.

  Many of the samples are supposedly in the style of this or that famous author, but they all seem to be in the same generic style and not in the styles of these authors at all.
