Well, here is what fresh Facebook's\Meta's 70B llama3 can do today. IMO, it is better than what a random human with zero writing experience can produce following the same prompt. And also far worse than what a good erotica writer will do. But note that it is an incredibly easy task -...

If by human-level story you mean something a novice writer could write I may agree even then I am not sure. If you think that AI can write professional novels... I don't think it is possible without actual Artificial Intelligence, a sentient and sapient being that actually understands the world...

If we talk writing, I expect AI to be on a decent pre-pro writer for simple plotlines and scenes. I don't expect AI to be able to write a truly coherent novel in this decade but "Write me a short story about father- daughter incest" will be better than most human writers very soon. Especially...

Well, there is nothing weird in bookmarking but not liking. Bookmark will give you a notification when something is added. I would love to have an ability to see how many bookmarks a chapter has. As for the requests. I generally like them and often respond to such comments. There are also few...

I favorite your story and you'll never get another notification from me. I like the introduction chapter and you'll also never get any other notification from me. I bookmark each and every dead end in the story, clearly expressing my hope that you will continue. I do the same as above but with...

This one is easy. Many people treat likes as "I want to see it continued."

When I see raw unedited (or barely edited) AI output gathering likes on Chyoa it makes me sad. And no, I don't care if AI is being used or not, I just want... effort.

I have a recommendation for an old author - tantrikenetic. He has been absent for 7 years, didn't post for longer than that and his stories are in the limbo of not updating but they are, IMHO, good.

If you want to game the system for likes and views, releasing them one by one is the best way to do it. The power of bump is huge at Chyoa.

Irrelevant. The character itself is the copyrighted object here, not the work containing it. Yes, people discussing Luke Skywalker on a forum do it in a fair use way but it doesn't mean that using those discussions in the training data is fine if we conclude that using anything in the training...

Reread the story as a reader. If it doesn't engage you - don't bother. If you are not in the mood to enjoy reading it, you aren't in the mood to continue it. If it does engage you - you should get a new idea before you finish it. Note that you need new ideas - do not try to reignite the old...

Yes, it is extremely hard to find if a specific copyrighted text was used in training. But it is extremely easy to check if copyrighted characters (or other copyrighted concepts) are in the training data. If you ask a language model "Who is Luke Skywalker" and it consistently gives you anything...

Wikipedia you say... A copyright is a type of intellectual property that gives the creator of an original work, or another right holder, the exclusive and legally secured right to copy, distribute, adapt, display, and perform a creative work, usually for a limited time Exactly what I said in...

Copyright is, by the very name, about the right to COPY. It is about the prohibition of making copies in one way or another. No, you don't have any right to decide what other people do with your product as long as they get it in a legal way. And it is legal to take it from an open-access source...

Your remark isn't even related to my argument AI is not the subject of the law. People who make AI are. And taking text\images from the internet and using them in training is just a new type of fair use. Remember, it is legal to "profit from other's work" when you sell your own work...

I am of the opinion that we actually have no right to reject people using our work in AI training. Because it is de facto the same as prohibiting a person to read our work and learn how to write (or how not to write) or be inspired by our work and write something loosely based on it. Copyright...

Heh, I wouldn't mind my work being used in training erotica writing AI if.. if it wasn't crap that will pollute the neural network and make it worse. Note that scrapping chyoa stories is really easy so if someone wants to do that they will not really need to ask for Friedman's permission or...

If an author of a moderated story approves my stuff it already means that they think that my work is good enough for their story. Why would I need a like? And I absolutely don't think that any author has any obligation to add to my branches Actually, I kinda dislike people who go "Hey, you...

"I dislike your story" is pointless feedback. Dislike why? Grammar? Style? Story? Not your fetish? It is impossible to determine from a thumbs down. The author learns nothing except generic "you suck." Do you think it is good if an enthusiastic inexperienced writer writers a piece of crap and...

AIs are not capable of writing a coherent story, true. But what you are describing is not using an AI as a writing tool. It is telling an AI to write a story for you. And not only it doesn't work (yet), it would be a lie to say that it is you who wrote the story But current generation AIs, even...
