From my experience trying this. It isn’t quite that easy. The AI has a massive amount of difficulty staying on track and remembering earlier facts when writing a story. There is zero risk of them replacing writers for anything but short stories for now.
- protocolture 2y agoMore or less my experience. Sudowrite literally breaks out the story into chapters, and has you arrange all the facts of the story so they can be summarily accessible at all times.
- Aeolun 2y agoEven making a massive snowflake for the whole story didn’t quite do it for me. It would forget relatively unimportant things, like the character had said something to someone, then three scenes on misremembers what they actually said.
- protocolture 2y agoI have had both amazing results, and really shit results. Like I had it write a cool opening chapter to a short story based on nothing but my notes. And another time, I had a boxer punch someone 2 floors above him on a balcony.
- Aeolun 2y agoHuh, wonder if that’s a common thing. I had someone walk down the stairs in a huff, only to teleport back and smack someone in the face :)
