Awesome work! I love this concept, but I'm a writer who's interested in collaborative generative writing. Do you know of any efforts to create something similar for writing, such as poetry or micro-fiction? If not, I'm curious if you could point me in the right direction for putting something like that together.

If you'd like to write poetry or fanfiction, I provide GPT-2-1.5b models for both on https://www.gwern.net/GPT-2 - I don't provide a slick interface for writing (although Astralite has an upcoming web interface which is very snazzy), but they could be plugged into any such interface.

Hey, thanks! I dont know about anything collaborative and for writing. https://aidungeon.io/ Maybe collaborative to play. And then there are a lot of writers exploring fine-tuning text models like GPT2 for personal use. https://twitter.com/MagicRealismBot is one of many examples. https://towardsdatascience.com/how-to-fine-tune-gpt-2-so-you...

Maybe you should make it!

If you check out the archives of NaNoGenMo over at github you'll likely find what you're looking for:

Check out the yearly resources.

a direct transfer of this concept to text isn't possible because the SotA for text generation is based on transformers, which do not work using latent space sampling. The directly analogous version of stylegan in the nlp world would be vq-vae, but currently it doesn't match transformers in generation quality.

There are other ways to do generative writing though, mostly with prompts.
