Robots Don’t Need Us to Write Great Fiction. Let’s Leave Them to It
AI-generated fiction is advancing fast. Some writers worry about machines taking over storytelling, but maybe that’s not such a bad thing. After all, AI can churn out stories that, frankly, won’t be any worse than some of the stuff already on bookshelves.
Fifty Shades of Grey
Imagine a large language model tackling EL James’s famously unique prose. It could add consistency and maybe even spice up the narrative. Yes, it might mix up details like the number of fingers or limbs—but who’s counting when kink is involved? There’s no reason to kink-shame AI-generated erotica.
It Ends with Us
Colleen Hoover’s novel is known for its repetitive mentions of marine-grade polymer chairs. AI could expand on that, turning the book into a detailed catalogue of furniture. If the relentless cycles of abusive relationships wear you down, the extra descriptions might just offer a strange kind of relief.
The Da Vinci Code
Dan Brown’s writing style often feels like a Wikipedia scrape. AI can speed through that and inject its own flair for inventing impossible histories. The result? A complex puzzle that demands multiple reads, making it a bargain for the patient reader. Facts? Less important here. AI can fix stories that lack plot or tension.
Prophet Song
Paul Lynch’s Booker-winning novel uses unusual phrases like “she is suddened into the dark room,” which can confuse readers. AI, which loves to invent new language, can enhance this style. Imagine a heroine who “seas away to safetiness” and “groks her kids.” The AI won’t stop human authors from aiming higher—it’ll just add its own twist.
The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece
Tom Hanks’s novel reportedly lacks plot and peril, but AI can fix that easily. Picture a hero named Sam Altman—tall, handsome, and with exaggerated features worthy of a blockbuster. Unlikely? Maybe. But if AI can handle Fifty Shades of AI, it can handle this.
