There are other ways of using the model other than iterative forward inference (completions). You could run the model over your novel (perhaps including a preface) and look at the posterior distribution as it scans. This may not be so meaningful at the level of the token distribution, but there may be interesting ways of “spell checking” at a semantic level level. Think a thesaurus but operating at the level of whole paragraphs.
I feel this is mostly a prompting issue. Specifically GPT-4 shows surprising ability to abstract to some degree and work with high-level concepts, but it seems that, quite often, you need to guide it towards the right "mode" of thinking.
It's like dealing with a 4 year old kid. They may be perfectly able to do something you ask them, but will keep doing something else, until you give them specific hints, several times, in different ways.
