The AI’s I use like Claude, Deepseek, Grok, and Chat GPT all write in a away that isn’t actual story writing. They usually summarize thing’s, have character’s be omniscient and know past or future events they shouldn’t know, always talk expectantly, give unnecessary sensory and environmental details and it definitely can’t set up a mystery or write a specific genre like comedy. They keep over clarifying as well what something isn’t or is along with even saying what I said not add directly.
I need AI that are at least capable of writing more humanly and following what you tell it. Idk why there isn’t any actual AI built for writing , story writing not essay or school writing. Most can critic something pretty well but can never implement those fixes they suggest. I usually upload my fic through PDF for the AI read . It gets things of what chapter is what at times wrong or completely be unable to remember a chapter ending or the actual one.
Story writing is a bit difficult in my experience. I had more fun with older models like Mistral Nemo. I feel newer AI models are often way more tuned to fulfill the role as a “helpful assistant” / chatbot, which I think tends to make their style of writing worse. You could also try to use some of those “base models”. They’re not tuned in that way. They also won’t follow instructions, they’re more autocomplete. You’d provide them with something like a word problem, give the first few paragraphs and see where they take it.
And honestly, I don’t think AI is super clever, on a book-author level. It’ll always get the pacing wrong. Push for story tropes like sudden plot twists. Introduce random characters to make something happen. And brush over / summarize other parts which would be interesting to tell in detail.
What could help is an elaborate (strict) process. Something like the computer programming / coding agents do. Make it first come up with a story idea. Make a plan, a todo list of the framework story, side stories and arcs, devise chapter names and a short summary of what needs to happen in those chapters. Write short character cards. And only then feed that plan back to the AI and make it begin writing the actual text.
