Have you ever read a 200 page vibewritten novel and found it satisfying?
I haven't, but my son has. For two separate novels authored by GPT 4.5.
(The model was asked to generate a chapter at a time. At each step, it was given the full outline of the novel, the characters, and a summary of each chapter so far.)
Interesting. I heard that model was significantly better than what we ended up with (at least for writing), and they shut it down because it was huge and expensive.
Did the model also come up with the idea for the novel, the characters, the outline?
For one novel, I gave the model a sentence about the idea, and the names and a few words about each of the characters.
For the other, my son wrote ~200 words total describing the story idea and the characters.
In each case, the model created the detailed outline and did all the writing.
