I’m pretty new here so lets start things out right. This is a short #AudioFiction that I wrote about a conversation between Time and Death. I produced it using a variety of tools. It’s a bit experimental but I really like the results. It’s sort of an illustrated #audiobook.

The narration is AI, but with a human touch. Visuals are #aiart (though I will replace them with my own stuff some day).

@Fringetheory999 To be honest, I'm torn on using LLM-powered (I refuse to use the moniker "AI," for it is neither) for fiction creation. I absolutely see the benefits to a creator who, for whatever reason, is incapable of doing the narration (as an example.) I don't have an issue with LLM helping someone get unstuck at some point during the creative process.

But experience has made me leery. And there are some questionable ethics around how these models have been trained. And then there's the whole "won't someone think of the creatives" replacement stuff that makes me worry.

Now, having said all of that, I'm very open to my opinions being swayed over time, so don't let my curmudgeonliness stop you from experimenting! 😅

@evoterra I don’t think that LLMs are very good at writing fiction. I did not use an LLM for this. They’re more for writing content than they are for creating art, they won’t replace novelists anytime soon but if you make a living writing advertising copy you have cause for concern. This piece is written entirely by me using my squishy human brain. I used artbreeder for visuals and 11ai for narration but did a lot of editing to create natural flow.
