And also: there's no money in writing fiction.

There's money in copywriting, there's money in writing code, but long form creative writing? Almost an opposite of money.

Thus, very little incentive for AI labs to spend any effort on improving long form creative writing performance.

Most of tunes on this generation of AI systems are basic RLAF, and aimed at something like "punchy short form writing". The potential is largely unexplored.
