Thousands of Writers Are Writing AI-Generated Fiction
I have data to prove it
Some time ago, I published an article about ChatGPT’s highly overlooked usage. (Link is at the bottom of this article)
In that, I explored the possibility of whether ChatGPT could write a novel. I analyzed ChatGPT from a novel author’s perspective.
Firstly, I tested it for its linguistic capabilities. As part of this, I tested it with its literary knowledge.
Next, I tested it for its sentence construction capabilities using the given input.
Next, I tested it for its understanding of sentiments. This was necessary to ensure that ChatGPT understood an author’s requirement (the next point).
Finally, I tested it for its scene and plotline construction capability — the most significant and the largest level tasks any fiction author performs invariably.
ChatGPT passed all the tests (at least in my purview). This gave me an exhilarating feeling.
At the same time, it filled me with a queer sense of grief. It felt like the world had lost a chance to demonstrate a lot of human creativity.
As I kept checking the article stats, my grief wasn’t misplaced.
