AI is very bad when it comes to making a linear narrative due to it's memory limitations. I doubt we will be seeing long form content that is made 100% by AI even in 10 years.
I can see a sub genre being born where authors let AI auto complete every few sentences though.
I am willing to bet up to $1 USD that AI will be able to generate a 5,000 word essay on an arbitrary but common topic which is indistinguishable from human writing to a panel of 5 normal humans, all by Jun 28, 2032.
What are ‘normal humans’? If I take 5 humans at random from a non university town, I am willing to bet up to $1 they cannot distinguish this now when generated with gpt3.
I struggled with that phrasing because it wasn't immediately obvious to me how to describe a class of people capable of judging the problem but who wouldn't be biased in some manner. I'd readily submit that no human could determine the difference, but I'm not ready to pay the testing costs...
I wonder if we'll get an AI D&D dungeon master anytime soon. It could be maybe given an over-arching plot, and then just let it riff off the player actions (so, hopefully the players act in a way that imposes the linear narrative and common sense, by staying in character).
Maybe even filter these, edit a bit, and sell 'em as stories.
Huh, I tried it out. It seems like a neat proof of concept/prototype, but not much of a game of course. I'm sure someone is working on pairing it with more of a proper game system.
