I actually heavily disagree with this. Most AI has one specific depiction of a thing and really struggles to get away from that specificity, which honestly is something I consider to be a fundamental failing of ML modeling currently.
For example: trying to get chatgpt to write about psychotic post-partum symptoms, getting stable diffusion to produce a realistic looking woman above the age of 50, or writing an immigration narrative that isn't "home country bad, new country better".

A while back someone pointed out that Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, and Winnie the Pooh had all become public domain characters on the same day, so I tried asking it for a story that combined them — it read like I expected it to (a terrible premise written with middling skill), but it also insisted on wrapping everything up with a twee "and then all three of them went on more jolly adventures" kind of ending. Likewise the time I asked it for one about alien invaders, where it wrote them turning (without good reason) from villains into friends at the end.
- simonw 3y agoI've found that problem is pretty easy to counter with a bit of extra prompting. "Give it a surprising, dark ending" or "add a twist". The majority of stories people tell have happy endings, so it's not surprising that it defaults to those twee resolutions.
