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?

    I’m not particularly enthusiastic about the show, but to compete with it, AI-generated stuff will need to fix the hallucination problem that current models have. They can’t produce long form, coherent writing yet.

    My problem with AI Generated Fiction is my problem with most fanfiction – after coming on twenty years since the end of the series (Deathly Hallows came out in 2007) there are very few original fanfiction ideas left, and most of it is (I am sad to say) knock off copies off stuff that already exists.

    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.

    There are very few original fanfics being produced now and AI isn’t going to help with that.

        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.
