AI-Driven Storytelling and Narrative Engineering
In 2023, a science fiction story generated almost entirely by AI won second prize in a Chinese provincial competition—only one or two of the six judges recognised its non-human origins. The same year, AI-illustrated children’s books flooded self-publishing platforms, and Hollywood writers walked out in part over fears that studios would use large language models…
