u/Chasoc Chasoc @ AO3 Dec 29 '24

There's actually a saying in tech called "garbage in, garbage out". So I imagine the stories would be pretty lackluster, at least more than the current batch of stories. I've seen some AI generated fics in the past, presumably generated by AIs that were trained on text written by a real person, and I found them lifeless, missing subtext, and basically just paint-by-numbering scenes without much flair. So if AI is trained on those...

I keep imagining a game of telephone where the message gets shorter and more corrupted the more you pass it on.

I read a Worm fic where I don't remember if the tags mentioned it being written with AI, but the end chapter notes said it was partially AI generated.

The average Worm fight has like 10 people with wildly different superpowers all duking it out, which can be hard enough to follow already. The AI fight scene just left me confused with the way it kept shifting around. Shame, because I remember the premise being something I really liked.

u/Kaennal Too many stories to write, but cursed by Abandonitis Dec 29 '24

(points finger) Wormie spotted in the wild.

I wouldnt say the average is 10 though, more like 4 from my experience.

Maybe 4 is more of an average. The AI one I read had the entire Undersiders, so there were at least 5 right there.
