Vox Day has opened a crowdfunding campaign through Infogalactic for Byron AI, an independent text-generation project built specifically for fiction writers.
Okay this I might back, I have no use for it directly myself, but I can see benefit in having good books to read. Related, I thought info galactic was dead; but that makes me think, we could have an AI keep the pages up to date.
Once we get it working, we expect to make it available to people, starting with the backers. If you get on board at the lowest tier, you'll be the first to be offered access.
Is this what I think it is? Is this website, created by an author who writes his own books with his own brain, promoting an AI that will do all the writing for us from now on? What the actual f**k is happening?
I love AI. Hopefully with this new Byron I'll be able to up my output to 20-30 books per year and run Fandom Pulse at this level at the same time. How amazing will that be if you're a fan of mine?
It's just a productivity tool, and given the choice between a Castalia one and whatever Amazon comes out with in the next few years (probably with "we own all the output" in the fine print), and the increasingly sanitised, safe stuff later Claude models churn out, I know what I'd rather use.
The AI doesn't do everything. Without the human creative spark, it will accomplish nothing. This is more akin to battle armor for a soldier, making him stronger, faster, and more deadly.
Mr. Del Arroz, would you ever consider teaching a course on using AI to write fiction? I have experimented with it quite a bit and not had good results. It can write a good blurb and ad copy, but other than that, not so much.

We have plans to revive it that are not entirely unrelated to this...
Love the idea and may back it. Does backing the project provide access (or even a local version) of the AI?
One of the rewards grants limited access. 75,000 words for $1k
I am not that ambitious :) I'd just like something to fiddle with that will help push my writing forward.

LLM for fiction is only useful for smut. But, we suppose, that's what millions mainly read these days…
You're literally retarded. That's observably false.
