> The writing does seem to be a masters-level course in telling rather than showing. That's a failure on the part of the [author?]. When you literally ask GPT to tell you a story, it's going to tell you a story. The "author's" entire process is mechanical iteration-- "Make a statement. Enhance. Enhance. Enhance." It's more "showy" when you start with "write a script about..." and massage that into a story, or add stipulations like "...go into emotional detail." People are gaming this thing to write smut, so if the output is this bland, it's not the tech that's the problem.
