The cover art on all 3 is hilarious given that Chen has a cut that won't heal. Or that he keeps catching it on something, yet another trope.

The automation is clever. Are you able to share it, perhaps on your Subscribestar? I'd like a way to make the process quicker than write a prompt in Scrivener, copy the prompt, get the response, have it edited as needed, then copy the prose back into Scrivener. Even better if I could be modify it to pull the prompt from Scrivener and put the edited text back into Scrivener.

Yeah will do on Subscribe Star.

Cool experiment! I wish you hadn’t pushed it so hard on X that it was AI because a truly blind test would have been even more interesting. We know how a segment of the population hates everything AI.

Yeah I already have my more blind test AI author name though so this was more fun to trigger people.

It IS fun to watch them sperg out!

The one million context window for Claude is going to be nice when you can actually feed the entire previous chapters as you add each chapter. While keeping quality high.

Also adding a meta AI like open Claw to orchestrate everything will eventually come to.

You'll still want to do small chunks in all likelihood.

Context windows: yes and no. Current context windows have a “lost in the middle” problem. I’m sure that will get solved eventually.

Thank you for having the presence of mind to get this locked in & documented before the inevitable improvements. Who knows? If successful, you may have to continue the mysterious tales of Arthur Ian Christie. Love the homáge to one of the greats! Good luck with your experiment.

Now relevant to the conversation, and this teller isn't in circumstances for paid models.

This teller's idea for a difficult experiment was to human write an extremely generic fantasy very short novella, kingdom of dwarves, elf forest and Demon Lord kind of thing. Main Character probably a Paladin. That baseline is Phantasia Orthodoxy.

Then feeding it and the generic setting to the AI, have it produce Phantasia Heterodoxy

Simply put, direct the AI to make one change, paladin into dark warrior but have that change of powerset and character logically alter and propagate through all the story.

Phantasia Heresy would do the same with the Baseline, but make the paladin into a mage.

Essentially similar to what has happened in the Chinese webfiction market where a lead will often write a popular breakout particular conceit, like everyone being isekai'd to be heroes of might and magic style lords but the MC has cheat X, then everyone and their dog does fifty-thousand variants and different "cheats", such as that concept but the MC is a Xianxia cultivator, not a modern human.

For added spice changing the SSH behaviour of the main character was something considered.

Not being versed in the usage of AI, this idea remained an idea. Discussed only with an AI.

Still already interesting experiments are being done!

Mystery, given the formula possiblities is a very good pick for your experiment.

Thank you for sharing this!

What a brilliant experiment!

This sounds like a typical AI response. 😁
