I would think at this point chatgpt is a bigger threat to writing assistants rather than actual writers.

Chatgpt can't write an actually compelling story for shit and who knows if it ever will.

We are some time off from an AI writing a compelling, coherent story.

But we are not nearly as far off from that as most people think. These AI's are improving at a genuinely alarming rate, and they will be able to do things very, very soon that they are right now incredibly incompetent at.

It's a threat to shit writers who are just getting a paycheck for pumping out generic crap, chatGPT isn't a tool for creating compelling original content but I have absolutely no doubt it could generate material on par with something like The Eternals which essentially contains no original ideas or lines of dialogue lol

DAN certainly can write a compelling story. ChatGPT is just really self limiting.

ChatGPT can certainly help out with plotting or throwing out ideas similar to those story flashcards.

It can't write a novel because it still just steals from the training dataset and it would be plagiarism after plagiarism.
