What's even the point of posting a writing prompt or opening one if it's just going to be answered by a program?
Copied from the other comment:
Hey, I didn't mean for the LLM to write the response to the WP publicly, but for my own satisfaction for reading a good story. I wouldn't be posting such responses online anyway
There's plenty of humans who write phenomenal stories, stories far better than any bot will make.
Give them a shot.
Are there people who will write stories from prompts if I just ask them to? I'd expect for them to reject my request, very few people have the time. Wouldn't they have written already it if they had wanted to?
Yeah, absolutely, you might have to pay them, though.
Human labor is generally more expensive. Ai is generally cheaper. My funds are limited. Guess which one I will pick.
I am not saying one is better then the other. Both have advantages.
Is your phone hand assembled? Are your cloths hand made? The planks from your bed are cut into shape by a human? Machine labor is generally cheaper and we all have to cut costs somewhere.
Producing quality text isn’t just a single skill. You need to come up with a good idea, write some text about it, delete half of it, turn the remaining part inside out, cut it to pieces, rearrange everything, delete everything, start over etc. it’s a lengthy process where the actual writing isn’t even the biggest part. Asking an LLM to write it for you will speed things up, but you still need to make all the big decisions yourself. You are still the captain of the ship while the LLM makes the propeller move.
So I often give a prompt to an llm for my shadowrun game, then take the llm out put clean it up and use it for my game.
