“I haven’t tried it recently, but I’ve been told Perchance took a major step backwards in quality last year. I suspected they turned down the processing available for each prompt.
I haven’t found any AIs are any good for writing fiction. You see phrase patterns, odd grammar and poor descriptive word choices, repeated over and over. Any experienced writer will spot them very quickly, and that’s before the continuity errors and poor understanding of physics and hierarchies (He removed his hat, revealing his T-shirt etc.).
All of the ones I’ve tried are better now than last year, BUT there is a storm coming. A lot of the stuff they are learning from is AI generated, so these mistakes and faults are being fed back into the system. This is a feedback loop of junk in the system and I can’t see how it won’t just cause it all to deteriorate again.”
I only started using this in the last month or two and I find it helps me to write more quickly but you are right there are certain errors. Also it uses the same names for characters over and over again if you don’t specify character names when you start the story. I am like dear Lord there are more names for women than Jenny and Rachel, and more mail names than Mark, Larry and Alex. So it does have a lot of repetition so those are things that you often have to correct. You are right they do tend to use certain phrases over and over again, and they do tend to make errors like despite the fact that is established that my character is naked they end up adjusting their clothing. So you have to be careful and make sure to catch these errors and correct them right away.
I like I said it sometimes seems to try and move things towards a reasonable conclusion like everyone was happy and they resolve this etc. etc. where my stories tend on the Darkside of things so it’s like yeah some of the stuff that it keeps going towards gets a little bit repetitive. And it’s also true that when you are trying to end the story and tell you specif

And it’s also true that when you are trying to end the story and tell you specifically I wanted to end like this it just keeps trying to perpetually continue the story pretty much endlessly so you basically just have to decide where to end it more or less because otherwise it will just keep going forever. Truthfully told though this is one reason why I have ended up writing a lot more lately because you can keep the story going a lot longer if you keep giving it prompts after prompt, so now it’s actually not uncommon for me to write like a novelette like last night I like 16,200 words novelette in a couple of hours which is pretty damn impressive because you can keep making the story keep going and going.
But I can see your point of AI is learning from the same mistakes it’s feeding back those same mistakes into the system. But I do suspect that things are getting better overall with time and even the people working with AI seem to be suggesting that in another year or two it’s going to be exponentially better and in 10 years it will probably be astonishing. I have a large degree of faith in technology and now in sort of the early age of this so there are lots of kinks to be worked out but I do think that overall things are getting better with time, even if AI does sometimes make some really amateur kind of mistakes.
