NaNoGenMo 2024 novel from AI captioned stills from the movie A.I
github.comThe result here seems a bit like what I imagine "Audio Description" for visual media would read like as a transcript. Maybe it would work better if the model was trained on novels, rather than a more general corpus?
What is the point of this? To see if AI can weave a story based on a sequence of stills? If that’s the case I would love to see what it could do with a series of security cameras as it follows a person around a highly surveilled city like London or Shenzen.
The repository looks like it's in protest of the NaNoWriMo organization and its stance on allowing AI-generated work.

NaNoWriMo usually offer very few high-quality content, but in the past year or so it seems to me it is at the same time better, and way worse.
The fact that GenAI content is grammatically perfect and produce stylisticly coherent paragraphs/chapters is good for my eyes and brain.
The issue is that giving a new author a chance pushes me to read at least 3 thousand words or so if the grammar and styles are Ok-ish to great. And Ai-generated story are so boring, and there's so many, I really couldn't find anything good this year. No new authors worth the boredom. I've opened steam for the first time in years, and now I play RPGs instead of reading. I still have naive storylines and shit character development, but at least I get to roll dices.
I also think it helps new authors too much, and they don't develop their own style. That's the worst IMHO.
No, NaNoGenMo's been running since 2013.
Honestly, NaNoWriMo's stance seems relatively fair unless you are a hardliner against anything AI related.
