Comment on AI-generated stories rated better quality than human-written ones, study finds

I would love to know the prompts and parameters of their short stories, but no. I generate stories all the time as a sort of self-roleplay since I don’t have a tabletop troupe to play with. The stories are terrible and get worse with length. I only tolerate it because roleplaying already has a lot of bad writing and retconning, and I’m not looking for depth or a coherent plot.

I think a lot of it depends on the model and the amount of context it has. LLMs usually get worse with time because they are running out of context, or they don’t have a good summarization of the story at large. For story-writing, it’s best to have a full outline planned and set up as its own Markdown doc, along with critiques on things you think don’t make sense or just don’t like as a plot device. Then, start a new session with each section, keeping it in a Markdown doc as it goes. Some sort of character doc is probably a good idea, too. Give it as much reference material as possible.
It’s just like planning features for code. You don’t just say “gimme a story like blah”. You have to set it up like writers write movies.
