One of my long-term goals has been write a couple of novels. Like maybe when this crazy decade blows over and I go onto some other stage of my life, I'll return to that idea.

I have a bunch of firm outlines for fantasy and near-term sci-fi novels, but they're all on my deep back burner.

And now I'm kind of annoyed, because by the time I have a chance to consider writing any of them, probably AI will be better than humans at writing, I don't know. And the funny thing is that one of the stories is set in 2050 and has AI as a theme, but probably by the 2030s that storyline will be obsolete anyway.

I guess the cool thing is that if generative AI gets way better, it'll eventually make it an order of magnitude cheaper to make animated stories or something from source material.

Maybe it depends on if you think new novels are just remixes of old novels, or if authors carry a divine spark that allows for truly new ideas. Where do truly new ideas come from? This process might not be achievable in AI within a decade.
