Using AI to Write a Novel
Stephen Marsh, a writer, used AI to write a short novel called 'Death of an Author'. He used a generative AI model called GPT-4 to generate text, giving specific commands for style, syntax, and plot details. While AI is poor at generating plots, it excels at style. Marsh used a program called Pseudo to edit and refine the generated text, selecting the parts he liked and making it sound like different authors. The process was a creative act, with the AI serving as a writing tool to assist Marsh in creating a unique and interesting novel.
