Okay, this is some useful feedback on what a couple people think in general about the idea of AI acting as a frame for human creativity. Thanks for that!

@BertramDitore@lemmy.world , would you consider trying the thing we made and telling us, specifically, what about this you don’t like? I agree that the idea of a “text being queried again” is problematic, but that’s not exactly what we’re suggesting here - the text is, at least arguable, run through the subtext of a great many other texts.

So is there scope for seeing an encounter with the thing we made as a projection of a specific text through all the different texts used to train a generative model? Or is an individual reader’s experience too important and special to ever claim that we can use a statistical “close-and-distant” reading to do something meaningful to something that’s already part of the canon?

Please give it a try! Negative feedback is good, and we’re also sceptical about this, but reference to a specific experience helps.
