AI can already write short stories, just not very good ones. It'll be doing novels once the context windows are big enough.

- itishappy 2y agoAgreed, the technology looks promising but isn't ready yet.
- cubefox 2y agoIt's orders of magnitude better than procedural methods written by humans.
- itishappy 2y agoAt writing novels or creating games? I'm open to evidence of either...
- cubefox 2y agoAt writing novels. So potentially also at procedural level design.
- itishappy 2y agoI'm admittedly skeptical. The AI generated novels I've seen have been bad. Really really bad. It's been a few months, however, so maybe the landscape has evolved faster than I expected. Is there a source you can recommend for further reading?
- cubefox 2y agoWhich novels? Did you compare them to novels created by handcrafted algorithms? I guarantee you, what you have read wasn't bad, it was fantastically good, compared to anything a software could have come up with without machine learning. So it seems likely that traditional procedural level generation could also be far outperformed by AI systems.
- itishappy 2y ago> procedural methods written by humans I did not understand what you intended here, but I see what you mean. I totally agree that these are the algorithms to beat. I'd argue that procedural methods should also include human writing processes, which to date have produced the best output. I assume the technology will get there eventually.
- cubefox 2y agoNote also that base models (foundation models) are much better at writing fiction than models tuned for chat. See https://nostalgebraist.tumblr.com/post/706441900479152128/novel-writing-chatgpt-vs-code-davinci-002 https://nostalgebraist.tumblr.com/post/706441900479152128/no...
