On that note though, the other day I asked Opus to write a short story for me based on a prompt, and to typeset it and export it to multiple formats.
The short story overall was pretty so-so, but it had a couple of excellently poignant quotes within. I was more impressed that I was reading a decently typeset PDF. The agent was able to complete a complicated request end-to-end. This already has immense value.
Overall, the story was interesting enough that I read until the end. If I had a young child who had shown this to me for a school project, I would be extremely impressed with them.
I don't know how long we have before AI novels become as interesting/meaningful as human-written novels, but the day might be coming where you might not know the difference in a blind test.
