all things fiction

Summer of Protocols

I’m really pleased with how this experiment with AI-coauthored fiction worked out. I worked with chatgpt to transpose the idea of a classic Lovecraft story to a different key and theme and it worked unexpectedly well. I enjoyed the story so much I reread it a few times myself just for pleasure, something I rarely do with my unassisted stuff. You can enjoy it without having read the original but if you have it is even more fun. https://protocolized.summerofprotocols.com/p/the-signal-under-innsmouth

Co-authoring is likely the way forward for the relationship between fiction writers and AI. You get to establish your voice and the AI does the things that offer you the most resistance while providing an editor's polish. 

Thanks, @vgr, for including your process in the post!
