So, I’ve been waiting years for a continuation of MGX. Mailgirls Express and Carli are one of my favourite inventions but sbjdaniels hasn’t posted any story updates in over 4 years. I am not an author, nor even a writer. I have no skills in that direction whatsoever, but I have access to AI. I have been entertaining myself with directing continuations of Carli’s story in this universe and wonder if there is any appetite for some of these human-directed but AI-generated chapters. sbjdaniels obviously has first right of refusal but in the absence of any input from that direction, I would like to know if anyone else either objects or is interested in what I have. Fair warning, I sometimes tend to let my impulses take over rather than whatever remains of my analytical mind. There is nothing non-consensual, no more so than anything you might find in Seahawk76’s series. In fact, quite a bit less than that. But I do have the odd idea now and again so be prepared for your suspension of disbelief to be tested. Assuming of course that no one has any objection to me adding some chapters.
I mean, give it a go if you want. I’ve test driven these AI models periodically with the same end in mind, trying to continue abandoned stories I love. They’re just unbelievably bad at it. I’ve played with a few different models, and it always goes the same way. I test to see whether it can write it on its own, and it’s just garbage. I test to see if it can be a decent collaborator and give plot ideas, and it looks reasonable at first, but the ideas are incoherent, milquetoast, or both. I test to see if it can be an assistant and write the prose if I give it a good outline, and it’s devastatingly boring and directionless. I am not a writer, never written anything worth reading in my life. But every experience I’ve had trying to write with AI has ended with the same conclusion. I try to use the tool, and I realize that even I am able to do the work faster, and better than it. My conclusion is this. I’m bad at writing, and maybe you are too. But regardless of how it might appear at first, all of these AIs – Claude/ChatGPT/Gemini, jailbroken or not – they’re worse.
