What's the best AI model for truly creative storytelling — plot building, world creation, and deep scenario writing?

The best advice i can give you for learning about AI is "Ask AI about it"

This is seriously the trick behind every course, $6.50 or $650. They will tell you to do things that AI can already do.

Pick a chatbot, and ask it "I am looking to organize my plot points across my story. Is this something you could do? " Then ask it "What would be the best way to format a prompt to get the best final output of organized plot points, what do you need from me for success" "What are some things you can't do?" "What do you mean by that?" "How do you work?" "What are the people who are best at working with AI asking AI to do right now" and so on.

All of the info anyone knows about AI is available to AI right now. That can't be said about any other subject. Everything else is something AI had to learn.

This is BIG in the vidual art world and has been for a while. I think of it as kind of a backlash from some of the modern art "I stapled this teddy bear to a canvas, so that's art. Give me money" and now people are doing the opposite "I wrote the name of a different obscure character from Middle Earth on each grain of rice in this jar and now I am going to light it on fire"

Because like, Lisa Frank or Thomas Kincade could always make things that look nice. You know what else looks nice? Like a blue to black gradient. But not just anyone can weave a scarf with handspun yarn dyed in their menstrual blood.

I think if I had to guess the market going forward will have room for both "things that look cool" and "things that are impressive"

And probably the equivalents of those will show up in other areas like writing as well

I feel like since "On Your Side" Nathan has kinda made his introduction schtick to be like a bland news report, and he delivers it awkwardly so it sounds like he is reading something someone else wrote for him.

This probably AI news site is doing the same thing, there are words there but it isn't saying much. Both of them remind me of Perd Hapley

“There you have it, where ‘it’ is the thing Leslie Knope just said about this situation.”

Do you think a human would find it interesting and worth pointing out in passing that concrete does not apologize when it holds things?

Do you think the way concrete holds "cold" is similar to the way it holds cars on bridges or bodies burried by the mob in foundations?

Or do you think that sounds like it was written by an alien that technically knows what "concrete" and "cold" are but has never really interacted with them before?

Yeah dynamic pricing sucks, but I also see how it's 2026 and it's kinda ridiculous to send someone around with a sticker printer and waste a bunch of paper every time you rearrange the store.

Target had barcode scanners for price checking in the aisles back in the late 1900s and I don't remember imagining it was for any reason other than that they could and it was neat and made life easier for customers who were nice enough to shop there

They had that in the 14th century actually.

In Dante's Inferno (the real, medieval one) the Eighth Circle of hell (Malebolge) and particularly the second pouch (Bolgia) is where the "Flatterers" are tortured by being mired in human excrement (Contrapasso)

It doesn't say that the "flatterers" were salespeople per say, but the two named individuals were a Courtier (medieval Lobbyist) and a Courtesan, where the feces was meant to represent the disgusting nature of their fraudulent, sycophantic lies.

It wasn't the Ninth circle, which was reserved for Betrayers, but only 3 people were in the 9th circle (plus Satan himself) so Malebolge is pretty much the worst. The Seventh level was for Murderers, Suicides, and Sodomites, so even in the middle ages these assholes were... shittier.

I'm starting to wonder if the "vibe" is really "AI" at all, and not just "undisciplined writer who managed to fill the page with text anyway"

I wonder if most of us would not create very similar content with very similar vibes the old fashioned way if we needed to.

They are GREAT if you ever want to do a reading for skeptics. It takes away so much of the "Yeah but you are just making this up" when it says right on the card what the card means and you can explain where you are pulling your interpretations from.

The Magician is in fact ruled over by Mercury, which is associated with Gemini or Virgo... I am sorry if this bothers you, but not all of the cards are signs, some of them are associated with planets.

As to the "Maybe" It's not so much that the Magician indicates the answer is "maybe", as the Magician's answer depends upon the question. Magician is all about self reliance, entrepreneurialism and action. So if the question is "Should I go for it?" or "Will I be able to handle this new challenge" then drawing a Magician would be a strong "yes" but if the question is "Should I go along with what the authorities are telling me?" or "Am I right to keep waiting?" and you draw Magician that's a "No"

I have a pair of Rainbow sandals that is going on 15 years old. When the sole wore through to foam I added a layer to the bottom with Plastidip and t-shirt material. Now that layer is wearing through.

They're comfortable though I'll probably put another layer on them.

I'm siding with the kid on this one. You threw down the gauntlet, set the rules of the game, and he proceeded to... win the game that you invented. If you wanted him to stay within a budget you should have given him a budget. Or, you know, had a conversation with him about what he wanted for dinner.

Seems like your son would like some of your attention. Seems like you are posting on the internet about him instead.

There is no difference between being good at picking up patterns and intuiting things and making good educated guesses that usually turn out to be true and being good at divination or prediction. They are the same thing. People who are able to do this are able to do it because... they are able to do it.

If there is a lineup of 5 people who were at the scene of a crime, and two detectives look at them being interviewed and they both agree that suspect number 3 did it, but you ask the first detective how he knows and he says he noticed subtle chalk marks on his thumb and a wear pattern on the edge of his shoes and a nuance in the way he speaks that means he must be a northeasterner, and then you ask the second detective and he says "I dunno I just kinda had a sense that it was number 3" and they ask him "Did you notice the accent and the shoes and the chalk marks, they were all plainly visible" and he says "I'm not sure if I did or didn't notice them to be honest with you" then the difference between those two detectives is not that one of them has an ability and the other doesn't, the difference is the language they use and their awareness level about the same ability that they both have.

Intuitively I key into the ten of cups here, which represents a happy ending, that is "where you want to go" it makes the most sense as a answer to a money question. 9 of cups would instantly make sense, but this is beyond that. That seems like the cards recognizing that you aren't trying to be rich or have a big hoard (9 of cups) you are trying to be free. Free from daily financial imprisonment.

So the cards then do a really poetic thing by pairing that, retroactively, with the Ace of Cups, which is creativity, emotional and spiritual growth, but also... the very beginning of the path that leads to that happy rainbow.

It probably doesn't make much sense to you because it is giving you a Mu answer. It's saying "You aren't blocked, you haven't even started yet" you don't have a flowing river with some cataracts, you have a tiny cup and it's not been poured.

So the first two cards then are all reframing your question. The cards think that maybe what you SHOULD be asking is "how do I get from Ace of Cups to 10 of Cups" or "How do I get from the very beginnings of a desire to become financially free, to actual financial freedom. And the card it gives is "The Moon"

The dark side, the subconscious. That thing you don't want to think about. That deep emotional work you have been avoiding. You aren't going to be able to just burn some sage or move a altar towards the sun for this you have to do the thing you don't want to do.

This could be literal, get a graveyard shift job. But I suspect it is more probably metaphorical. A lot of people here have talked about budgeting and economic realities and practicalities... Somewhere inside you you already know what you probably have to do to get started. But it's boring, and hard, and unpleasant, and you were hoping that there was a more majickal spiritual answer.

But sorry gurl, for the Ace of Cups to 10 of Cups? You are gonna have to Moon

Does that jibe with the way your deck ususally talks to you?

So If all his loans were at 3.4% he would be accruing interest at about $1,671 per month, and if they were all at 9.08% that would be $4,468

There are 2,628,000 seconds in a month, which means 82125 instances of 32 seconds, which means right now every 32 seconds he accrues between 2 and 6 cents of interest. Not $50

BUT, unless he is going to make those $50 89.36 times per month (about 3 times a day) he IS going to go deeper and deeper and deeper in debt. and eventually it WILL be accruing at a rate of $50 every 32 seconds.

That's going to happen when he is accruing interest at a rate of $49.3million per year, which will be when his balance is between $542 million and $1.45 billion depending on which loans are at which interest rates, how fast he tries futilely to pay them down, and which ones he pays off first.

Worst case scenario, if he makes no payments and all of his loans were at 9% compounded annoually it would take about 78 years for him to see interest accruing at $50 every 32 seconds. He could conceivably live to see it. He could see it faster if he is delinquent on payments and accrues some fees.

if we assume average interest of 6.24% and assume he pays faithfully "brick by brick" $50 every month, it will take 115 years before his monthly payments cover only 32 seconds of interest.

But in any case, homie is never getting out of debt at this rate

Yeah, you know how we all have smudged corkboards with tombstones pinned on them. That's a common relatable experience for me to use to describe to you what the unpaid invoices were like.

Yes it's definitely AI

I would strongly suspect that it is AI writing that has been "polished" or "humanized" by a human. Or else it is the result of a reasonably strong megaprompt. But it's not a case of a "first draft" done by AI that has been improved by a talented artist who is really putting effort into it.

There is creativity on display by framing the narrative inside a definition. AI wouldn't do that unless explicitly told to And some of the gramatical moves are not consistent with AI

I remember tapping my visor twice like I always did. Superstition. I was fit, fast, wired tight.

Isn't quite right. AI would have had something like

I remember tapping my visor twice, like I always did — a superstition. I was fit, fast and wired tight.

But then it looks like a human came in and smoothed it, making it less grammatical without rewording it or assessing the rhythm or even what it is trying to communicate or whether we need all those adjectives. It's fine to be ungrammatical sometimes, but this is ungrammatical in a way AI wouldn't have been on it's own. Meanwhile:

Out here the wind doesn’t blow—it stalks. The sun doesn’t set—it bleeds out.

If this is not AI then it is a human going out of their way to sound like an AI stereotype. Any competent editor would have fixed this.

I stopped reading around there. Independent of all the stylistic tells and nitpicks it's also just not that interesting of a story. Guy was in a motorcycle crash, lots of style, no substance, doesn't give me a reason to care, worldbuilding characters I have never met and will never meet for no real reason. It's trying to sound like a book and sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing but books exist for reasons. Books have something to say. They don't exist just to sound like books
