Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I tried generating fiction with a couple of the big-name LLMs. They're not very good because any time there's any non-trivial conflict, the systems will just refuse to continue. However, they're very good at spitting out vapid sonnets about non-controversial topics.
You might be able to generate good literature if you created your own system, but then you'd have to explicitly use data stolen from people you admire.
NovelAI has no guardrails. BigName LLMs are trash because they need to be investor-safe.
That said, you do generally need to take the lead, since it's not gonna just spin up a story entirely on its own. It's more of a "yeah, and~" than the big instruct models.
Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out!
