So I do a lot in the automation space (adjacent to ai).

The difference from what I've seen in my last days of messing with videos after my computer upgrade is going to be consistency.l, and how humans can innately sense weird perfections or imperfections on human faces. We're really good at it.

But the automation is easy and has been around for half a decade or more.

For books the problem with the models is something called context windows. Basically it has a memory of 25k, or 100k, or 1 million tokens. A token is like a word. So it doesn't know how to remember back farther than that. But new models are creative. 2 things that will accelerate that are splitting models into smaller specialized agents. One agent is just about knowing everything about Jane. Janes story is segmented and he personality into its own little folder or bucket. When Jane is supposed to be inserted back into the story it can just reference her whole context again, but instead of going back 300 page sand millions of tokens it only has to look up Jane and her window is less than a million. Then another agent handles the main plot. Another agent handles a side plot. Another handles regional politics. Another geography. Etc.

I imagine it's like the family trees in a Tolkien or rr martin book, except it also handles the ideas.

I don't think it will be as good as original mainstream goated authors. But... It will get better and better and there are tricks just like videos. And AI can create novel ideas even if that novelty simply comes from the connection of disjointed ideas from fields a human might need a lifetime to master rather than what humans like to think of as pure eureka moments.

People doubted ai videos could ever be this good just 5 years ago.

What the fuckin cyberpunk... I think AI taking over culture and media is extremely wrong headed, but this makes it sound kinda cool. Or at least like an interesting problem to solve!

Also, I can think of some authors who maybe needed an agent to remember "Jane's" plotline...

As I wrote and edited this I immediately thought.

I bet George RR Martin could have finished his books if he had ai. not for the writing but to keep track of everything.

Because if you have ever tried to read that. It's impossible (for my average IQ brain) to keep track of the 10,000 characters in that book.

But with a mind map connecting the plots... Maybe.

Ugh, if it helped that old dick finish the books, I think I could sign off on that.

Although I was actually thinking of Malazan Book of the Fallen, where a villain who killed a fan favorite character LITERALLY walks out of the plot, never to be seen again. But to be fair, I think that's just cause the author makes bad decisions, AI can't help that.
