One of my long-term goals has been write a couple of novels. Like maybe when this crazy decade blows over and I go onto some other stage of my life, I'll return to that idea.

I have a bunch of firm outlines for fantasy and near-term sci-fi novels, but they're all on my deep back burner.

And now I'm kind of annoyed, because by the time I have a chance to consider writing any of them, probably AI will be better than humans at writing, I don't know. And the funny thing is that one of the stories is set in 2050 and has AI as a theme, but probably by the 2030s that storyline will be obsolete anyway.

I guess the cool thing is that if generative AI gets way better, it'll eventually make it an order of magnitude cheaper to make animated stories or something from source material.

Write it anyway, Lyn

Y2K the world as we know it is coming to a end AI will do everything?

Maybe it depends on if you think new novels are just remixes of old novels, or if authors carry a divine spark that allows for truly new ideas. Where do truly new ideas come from? This process might not be achievable in AI within a decade.

I am in the process of writing my second historical fiction novel. I can't begin to say how much the LLM AIs are speeding up the research and creative process. I am using the LLM to write some initial drafts to get the creative juices flowing.

The inception ideas within an inception concept: mindblown 🤯🤯🤯

I think you have a little more time than most before AI surpasses your processing chip

Cheers to other stages of life … this one feels like a fist fight, daily.

GameBoyBTC · 127w

Interesting that you have this initiative. It will be good to see this facet. The issue that IA makes your theme look "obsolete". It seems to me to be rushed. The essence is what matters. The technical aspect will adapt or tend to have a more distant vision. For the fact that we are with advances f...

What if humanmade books and human writing become ultra valuable and appreciable due to scarcity? What if AI is not here to replace you, but to be your coworker? What if AI never reaches the expected hype, becoming stuck at imitating and never being able to create new ideas? What if AI stops being...

AI could write a decent novel with enough argument information but there is no way, at least now, is been capable to create at the level of an actual author. Sounds mechanical without spirit, without beauty. Just begin to write by yourself.

As far as the novel goes, writing “better” writing is subjective and trivial. Of far more importance is the writer. I’ll take organic Lyn and her ideas all day every day. Also, my favorite writers are idiosyncratic AF.

HannahMR · 127w

Or maybe, AI will just help you to write it much faster and easier that you could have on your own! ...maybe.

Would love to read a cyberpunk novel by Lyn!

What LLMs lack is creativity? They are programmed on history and so karma plays a huge role? (Karma being the law of causation at the level of the mind)

nostrich · 127w

According to #EckhartTolle a study was done circa 1950 and it concluded that "thinking plays a secondary and subservient role" in bring about something new. AI is trained on the past and is full of bias. It can only replicate what has gone before, like our dreams we can't drive until we've learnt ho...

Eric Gens · 127w

Lol, very similar! I just finished my first novel because I had the idea on the back burner, but got panicked to put it out once I realized how good LLMs were getting. For what it's worth, AI is a great tool for breaking writer's block and acting as an enhanced search engine. I powered through ...

What’s your favorite fantasy series?

The future will be exciting!

Peregrine Talcom · 127w

I think you could focus on the plot, character outlines etc. short term. Capture your ideas. Then see how these LLMs pan out. Who knows, there may be some big stumbling blocks in terms of further game changing improvements. e.g. I wonder if they were released publicly too early, and may be hobbled b...

Daniel Tapa · 127w

hey Lyn! whats your thoughts on Matrix 4?

twentyone · 127w

I’d read your sci-fi book over an AI generated one any day. Make sure to have some intentional typos so we know it’s you 🤙🏼

AI is just an editing tool, it's not a replacement for an artist. the same old shit with a new veneer will not sustain the interest of people for very long. sure, there will be always the pulp fans who don't care, who already were susceptible to subscribing to the most cheaply produced, poorly writ...

Hey cgatgpt write me a sci-fi novel

MahatmaHodl · 127w

Fret Not Lynn - AI will have the same problem(s) securing an agent as you will in 2030+. *note: quality doesn’t make it easier 😂. So keep that dream alive!

nostrich · 127w

People over estimate what can be done in a year and underestimate what can be done in ten years, so just have your fiction occur in 2034 instead of 2050 and you may be about right !

With art being subjective and contextual, it's unlikely you'd be wasting your time if you were to pursue this project, even if AI produces 'better' writing than humans by several orders of magnitude.

Why not just dump your outline in to a LLM and have it write the novel?

𝔼𝕣𝕪𝕟 𝔹𝕣𝕒𝕔𝕔𝕠 · 127w

Write them anyway! Before AI, there was always the chance a human author could write an idea out “better” than you. That wouldn’t have mattered and the AI aspect doesn’t matter now. None of them would write it the way you would. Better is in the eye of the reader. I also don’t think it m...

₿atiskaf · 127w

This last bit gets me wet.

I was just thinking about this the other day. I the not so distant future all books will be “movized” by AI. Plausible future scenario: Hey (name of magic AI movie app) show me “broken money” by Lyn Alden, narrated by David Attenborough , show graphic charts to illustrate and add extra visu...

I would love to see a Lyn Alden Autobiograhy - The First Half.
