With the recent announcement of the Max Harry Potter series, I was wondering, assuming there are high quality AI-generated fanfic audiobooks/movies by then. Would you be more excited about the Max Harry Potter series or the AI generated stuff?

    And given that AI cannot write original stuff because it doesn’t have the ability to create, just copy and reorganise and regurgitate, then it will just reproduce what exists.

    That’s just not true. AI tests into top 1% for original creative thinking - New research from the University of Montana and its partners suggests artificial intelligence can match the top 1% of human thinkers on a standard test for creativity

    AI can create stories based on your ideas so all you have to do is come up with an original prompt. Of course right now the quality and length of the story will be pretty bad but that will improve quickly.

      So the person has to come up with the original idea – the creative part – and the AI just takes that idea and writes based on that?

      To me that’s not creativity. That is taking someone’s idea (the creative part) and then taking existing works and modifying them based around that.

      Now if you just say “write me an original Harry Potter story” and it comes up with an original fanfiction plot… that would be creative.

        But if you have some random people write original prompts and then ask the AI to do the same, the AI is going to be better than the majority of people. That’s why AI is more creative than the average person; it is as creative as the top 1% of humans. The same way you give an idea, you can just ask the AI to come up with ideas and then ask it to write the plot for the one you like. Or you can directly ask it to write an original Harry Potter plot or a very short story, and it will come up with something more original than what 99% of people can write.
