How to Begin a Novel

I remember when it was commonly thought that computer programs could never be creative. That the "spark" of creativity is impossible for a pure-logic machine to produce.

Interesting that that turned out to be such a simple problem.

I look forward to reading AI-generated fiction.

This is still monkeys and typewriters, just the keys write entire words and dynamically change to a set of likely words based on some corpus of literature. And it's heavily editorialized.

I'm sorry to say that this perfectly describes human written novels. Particularly the part about heavy editorializing, most people wouldn't believe the sort of books that come out as self published without an editor.

Writing a fiction is actually an extremely challenging task. I am pessimistic about it for now.
