> Are readers generating fiction with AI models?

Why not? Journalists, lawyers and pundits of various stripes are already doing it. Why shouldn't readers?

I suspect that those other groups are largely not trying to generate fiction.

Because fiction is a different genere and historically at least AI was much worse at it.

The big differences:

- fiction tends to be longer, AI struggles with making a satisfying coherent plot structure after a certain length.

- fiction tends to be subtler. You want characters to have nuance, shades of grey, symbolism, etc. Not everything should be shouted in your face. This is the opposite of writing persusaive literature where you are trying to convince someone of something.

Because nobody wants to read AI generated text?
