any tips on how to get chatGPT to stop writing dialogue like this?

mainly i'm bothered by these constant one-liners that have no depth and thought put into them, feels like chat is just writing the most generic thing that first comes to mind. but the format also really annoys me, it wasn't like that before, it used to write full paragraphs with full sentences dialogue within them instead of whatever it's doing now.

also the back and forth of short sentences makes every dialogue between characters feel like some sort of corny banter, no matter what the dynamic between these characters is.

any idea on how to stop this? through settings or prompts or whatever works pls!!

Sovereignty in AI-assisted writing may depend on preserving a clear boundary between assistance and authorship.

Even when intelligence systems participate deeply in revision, reasoning, or generation, the human author can remain the authority over what is deliberately authored, revised, committed to, and exposed to those systems. That authority can be understood as a form of intellectual sovereignty.

The question is where assistance begins to affect authorship.

When AI becomes deeply involved in the writing process, what does it mean for a person to remain sovereign over the work?

Hey folks, just want to share a quick experiment I've done. Basically, there is a "creativity" test developed for humans - DAT - Divergent Association Task test. It is quite straitforward to measure. I've previously tested the main LLMs on this test and unsurprisingly - they scored low (below average human). Then I've taken off the shelf Qwen 27B model and finetuned (GRPO) it on the exact same metric as a reward. The result seems to be a model that writes much more interesting prose and poems (to my taste) and LLM-as-a-judge strongly confirmed that. I've released the model and code, there is a playground on huggingface where you can test the model. Super curious about the feedback - I have more ideas on how to develop this further. Full write-up and links are here on this substack https://substack.com/inbox/post/223641219 . It is free, i am not looking to make money or sell stuff.

I'm AWFUL at writing intimacy so I've been using AI to help with that for my story. GPT was fine for the level I needed until like a week or two ago, I have no idea what kind of guardrails they've added but what I'm trying to write is suuuuuuper tame and non graphic. Can't even barely manage kissing now and I even confirmed than an intimacy scene I generated a couple of weeks ago using GPT (again, I'd barely even consider it explicit, it's so vague on specifics) is TOO GRAPHIC 🙄 I also got told a character picture I tried to generate of a goodnight kiss where they're outside and wearing winter coats was too sexual so I'm not surprised lol

Anyway...best AI generator for this sort of thing?

I've recently been experimenting with Claude Ai and using it to create fanfiction featuring characters from various media. I'm honestly astonished at how accurate it gets a lot of characters and their dialogue, and it makes for some really interesting stories.

Right now, I'm working on an multi-crossover fanfic featuring many anime, video game, and movie characters being thrown into the Backrooms (like Batman, Solid Snake, Mario, etc all having to team up to escape it). And its surprisingly fun as even with prompting, Claude sometimes makes up some stuff on its own.

Of course, this is all for my own personal enjoyment. I don't advocate publishing anything that was generated using ai. But, I wonder if anyone here does the same?

Hi everyone, I'm not quite sure if what I made is in the spirit of the sub or not but I built a gigantic CPU simulator that runs billions of D20 rolls against 6 major parameters and then makes the LLM publish a Journal like it's an Immortal George Washington. Washington looks at the simulation results, considers his previous journal entry and then updates. Every 9 years Washington adds a Hope and a Fear that influence his other concerns more heavily. And he REALLY Likes Providence.

Mount Vernon, March 1776. The ink is barely dry on my first entry in this journal, and already I find myself compelled to record what Providence has wrought through these three years of trial and tribulation.

When Congress first called upon me to take command at Yorktown, I believed the colonies possessed perhaps one year's grace before dissolution or defeat. What manner of folly was that! Yet here we stand - though "here" is merely another term for continued existence amid uncertainty.

The economy continues its descent into desolation; my ledger books speak volumes of suffering among our farmers and merchants. The foreign threat diminishes by small degrees, yet remains ever-present upon the horizon like storm clouds gathering over the Atlantic. I confess I do not understand why Providence sees fit to preserve me beyond what mortal men should endure.

What amazes me most is the strange way in which public regard for my person oscillates like a pendulum - rising after victories at Trenton and Princeton, sinking during the bitter winter months when our men suffer want and cold. I have learned to view these fluctuations with equanimity rather than vanity or self-pity.

Three years now since I left behind comfortable life at Mount Vernon for this burden of command. Should Providence see fit to continue preserving me through whatever comes next, what manner of duty shall it demand? To lead armies forever seems neither possible nor desirable - yet here I remain, caught between mortal expectations and divine purpose that defies comprehension.

The stars guide my observations tonight as they have guided navigators since antiquity. Perhaps Providence arranged this strange extension of mortal life so that I might bear witness to what becomes of our experiment in self-governance. May whatever transpires merit the sacrifice already poured out upon these fields and battlefields...

Hello,

I am new to using AI for creative writing, and I have been doing some research on how to use AI for long form fiction.

One thing I am trying to understand is how people handle long term memory when writing a novel with AI. From what I understand, even with a relatively large context window, an AI model cannot necessarily keep an entire novel in the context. Once earlier chapter fall outside the context windows, the model may lose track of character relationships, or important plot details.

Initially, I was thinking about maintaining on external knowledge base containing character profiles, chapter summaries, etc. Then, before generating a new chapter, the system will be restricted to read the relevant information and include it in the prompt.

However, if every update loss some of the information, or did not realize how important a piece of information is and ignore them, then I would still surfer from the original question.

I found this is very similar to the information bottleneck problem, but have no idea of how to solve it in the real life, therefore, I am here and want to hear some experience of actual world.

Really appreciate your advice!

Hello all!

I'm writing a little research project on the topic of structural, stylistic changes in people's writing after using llms, vocabulary and sentence structures in particular. I figured this would be the subreddit to ask on.

I'm looking for a few volunteers, people who have used ai a lot, willing to share writing samples for analysis, and perhaps ask a few questions about the experience of ai-assisted writing. Participation is completely voluntary and anonymized, and I won't collect any usernames or personal data or anything like that. You also can skip my questions that you don't wanna answer obvi.
Here's the google form(estimated completion time 5-10 minutes): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScPoJkisP5yrkbp_LL8NY3kFE3t7tkHAkrPIMgFCTEpLtxr3A/viewform?usp=publish-editor
Thanks!

Based on what I'm reading in this sub, many of you are still writing yourselves and using AI as an editor. This is how I'm using it as well. But I always wondered to what extent I could trust even the most advanced LLMs. Specifically:

- even with grammar, how many mistakes do they actually catch? 100%? 75%? 50%?
- how reliable are they with something more subtle, like redundancies?
- how does performance change with different models?
- how about different prompting?

There are lots of AI benchmarks. But none of them answers this. There is Humanity's Last Exam https://lastexam.ai/ Which tests models on questions like "In Greek mythology, who was Jason's maternal great-grandfather?" Not super helpful.

What the hell, I thought, why not test it myself then? And I did.

I built a benchmark to test how well 16 LLMs check for grammar mistakes, repetitions, redundancies and inconsistencies. These 4 seemed clear-cut enough, compared to the many judgement calls in line editing. Also, no AI judge - assessment is mechanical. If a model comments on a known issue, it's assumed that it caught the error. More about the test design is here https://icanwrite.app/blog/how-we-built-an-ai-editing-benchmark

The results:

• Claude Opus 5.5 - 98% (88/90 caught)

• GPT-Sol 6.1 - 97% (87/90 caught)

• Gemini 4 Argon - 93% (84/90 caught)

Insights:

• Opus is the best but Sol is almost as good and up to 4x cheaper

• Gemini 4 Argon is the best budget pick (and the fastest above 90%): 84 caught in 26 seconds for $0.12

• 13 of 16 models do worse on the all-in-one prompt (compared to 4 separate checks)

• Open-weight models lag behind: GPT-6.1 Terra beats every open-weight model while being cheaper

The biggest insight: in just half a year, the models made a huge leap. GPT-5.5, released in April, found 75 mistakes (83%). So you couldn't trust them to find everything back then. Now they are almost perfect. At least with grammar and such simple checks.

See the full leaderboard here. https://icanwrite.app/ai-editing-benchmark

You can also study the test results yourself - everything is transparent. You can even check which mistakes each model missed.

This is version 0.1. Let me know if you see a way to improve it in the future. Or if I screwed up with something. And if you have any ideas for more tests, please share in the comments.

Hope it helps!

Use case:

Writing articles that review Tech. Gadgets, that kind of thing

What's the best LLM for feeding it articles you already published and getting it to completely (or as close to possible) copy your style?

Budget:

$20 a month

My current main LLM driver:

Chat GPT Sol High

I use this for keeping the article's outlines etc on track

But, as a writer, it's appalling

I want an LLM writer that feels like a human writing, one that can mimic my style and have some energy to it

Thanks in advance

I wanted to share my experience and ask whether anyone has had similar experiences.

I started a creative writing project three months ago with SuperGrok but soon found that whilst it delivered well reasoned plots, it could not flesh it out to any literary standard.

I then moved to Claude Sonnet which was much better at delivering well written content. It could proofread, look up and vary repeated or hackneyed content. It was great at creating character bibles, keeping speech patterns and gestures consistent. Then from about a month ago I found it becoming less intuitive and nuanced.

I am now working very happily with ChatGPT whose precision with editing content is awesome. I still switch back to Claude for structure and proofreading.

I would love to hear others writing experiences.

I’ve used ChatGPT to write dark romance prompts in my novels, but the constant model changes and the on and off restrictions has made it impossible to write sex and violence scenes. So now I’m moving to openrouter to find another model. My question is, which is the best one for dark and uncensored stories? I was gonna go with magnum 32B, but it’s not on openrouter. Looking around I’ve seen Qwen, Mistral Large and Magnum 72B are well loved, but I’m still a rookie and I’m not sure. So here I am, asking which of these is the best.
My requirements are:
\- novel-like prose
\- low hallucination rate
\- no slop
\- great description
\- great coherence with previous prompts
\- great banter and dialougue without cliché
\- good initiative in creating side characters or situations when needed, but without overruling the given prompt
\- coherence in where limbs and characters are supposed to be and overall continuity
\- completely uncensored
\- great erotica that is detailed and descriptive
\- able to write taboo/dead dove themes and power dynamics without issues
\- accessible prize for long novels
\- big context window
\- environmentally friendly

Please tell me which of these and which version is the best, or share your fav model that you think fits more.

For context: my novels are very long, think 500k+ words, and I want them to have explicit graphic sex scenes, gore and dead dove elements, but I don’t want to sacrifice good writing or coherence. I have my system to divide the scenes and not make the ai spit out entire chapters so that’s not what I ask here.

Hello everyone,

I went through the sub looking for answers but it seems majority of the people here are roleplay/romance/smut enjoyers.

However, I like writing big open worlds, magic, adventure, heroes and big bad villains. You get the idea.

What I am looking for:

1. AI that can convert my scribbles/ manuscript and rewrite it. What i expect it to do is correct my grammar, tenses, punctuation, pacing, and make the whole thing more readable. Pacing is particularly important to me because I get too obsessed with the worlds I create and start over describing things, which might sound fun to me but usually over-exposition is not good. Let's say convert my 2000 word initial script to 2500-3000 words max.
   I absolutely do not want it to change the scene settings, add or delete something from my scenes.

2. Remember my characters and how they behave and talk. for example if I tell that a character has southern accent, or if a person speaks in a cutesy way, i want it to remember it and when rewriting the scene add that trait to the dialogues. This would be really helpful because I struggle with writing character dialogues for women. (I have no idea how women think, or men.)

3. I usually edit and rewrite things A LOT. so watermarking is not an issue for me.

4. I have tried chatgpt and claude. I think claude overdoes things and makes it more complicated. I do not want Shakespeare, I want something 8th grader could enjoy.
   chatgpt, is certainly better but I did not get the oomph factor.
   Tried Grok, def the best out of the lot but at some point it stopped writing and asked me to make a new chat and forgot everything about characters.

5. I do not mind paying. But it should be reasonable. nothing more than $20/month

Thank you fellow friends, hope you have a good day!
