The Verge recently published an article titled If you’re curious about my AI-generated cyberpunk novella… revealing a Sudowrite-generated story called The Electric Sea. The novella features a plot revolving around hacking, artistic sellouts, and a floating domed city ruled by an AI. The article provided a link to the Tumblr posts breaking down the story, but the author, Elodie Paradox, decided to post the manuscript directly on the website for convenience.
Although Elodie Paradox warned that the story was not great, readers who are curious about Sudowrite’s capabilities can now access the manuscript without navigating through 12 different Tumblr posts. Sudowrite, an AI writing tool, generated the story and suggested a nom de plume for itself: Elodie Paradox, the pulp sci-fi answer to Aidan Marchine.
The story was received positively by readers interested in AI writing while others criticized the plot and style. Sudowrite is becoming increasingly popular amongst writers and readers who are interested in exploring AI-generated content. As AI technology continues to improve, we can expect to see more AI-generated literature and creative works in the future.
Overall, Elodie Paradox’s The Electric Sea offers a glimpse into the potential of AI writing, albeit with its limitations. The manuscript may not be a perfect representation of what AI can do, but it is still an interesting experiment that sparks conversation about the future of creative works.
