>>24119654Good prose is writing that effectively communicates its message while engaging the reader through clarity, rhythm, and style. It balances substance and form, ensuring the ideas are expressed in a way that is both accessible and aesthetically pleasing. Key elements of good prose include:Clarity: Ideas are conveyed clearly and without unnecessary complexity or ambiguity.Precision: Words are chosen carefully to express exact meaning and nuance.Rhythm and Flow: The sentences have a pleasing cadence, avoiding monotony or jarring transitions.Economy: Each word serves a purpose; unnecessary words are omitted.Engagement: The writing captures and maintains the reader’s interest through vivid imagery, strong voice, or compelling arguments.Consistency: The tone, style, and structure align with the purpose and audience of the writing.Good prose can vary greatly depending on its intent, from the spare elegance of Hemingway to the lush descriptiveness of Nabokov. Ultimately, it resonates with its audience and fulfills the purpose of its creation.
>>24119637ChatGPT cannot write good prose yet. A year or two ago it wrote something "in the style of Edgar Allen Poe" and it didnt sound like him at all. I once gave ChatGPT something by Hemingway and asked to improve the prose. ChatGPT just added bigger, fancier words. >>24119642This isnt bad.

>>24119637ChatGPT on it's own can only work within the context of the prompt. That's why tools like Novelcrafter, Sudowrite, etc exist that can interact with multiple LLMs In Sudowrite if you fill out the "story bible", customize the genre, style etc, then use the "chapter generator" it will literally write your book for you.Claude 3.5 is much better at this usually than ChatGPTThe problem is, if you are any sort of literate person it will be obvious the work needs more editing than it is worth, but nothing is stopping you from just releasing it and profiting off the slop. These tools can be useful for legitimate authors experiencing writer's block by having the AI continue your story. It will tell you the laziest way forward and your pride will demand you write something better. If you can't, there was probably something wrong with your writing to begin with.
>>24119657>Clarity: Ideas are conveyed clearly and without unnecessary complexity or ambiguity.Wrong. This works for non-fiction, but in fiction you want to create ambiguities.
