Which three?

Maybe every thing except one is perfect. Something minor but the opposite of warm blanket cozy. Like everyone's underwear itches them all the time? I picture an enlightened proctor in a beard on a marble dais overlooking the Amalfi Coast. "Everything would be perfect if I didn't have to scratch...

That could be interesting. Make a nice black comedy backdrop. Or a western mysticism thing. Those are tough to top.

I'm reopening this thread. Please treat each other respect, and if you don't have anything new or informative to contribute, please refrain from responding.

Let's limit the discussion to the writing implications of AI, please. LLMs have nothing to do with the Terminator.

What did I say about putting words in people's mouths? Nobody said any of those things. That is exactly what people are telling you. The majority so far finds that it doesn't work for them. And I also said to treat everyone else's opinions with respect. Most artists hate everything AI. You...
