A podcast I listen to, The Gist had an episode recently where he interviewed Stephen Marche, the author of
Death Of An Author along with an entity known as "Aidan Marchine," which is a pseudonym for a suite of AI services. This isn't a hack author. Stephe Marche was trying to see what it would take to get AI to write a readable novella. Interesting interview,
Google Podcasts or
Apple Podcasts.
FYI: The Gist is a news, opinion and general interest podcast. The interview starts a few minutes in.
