something i feel with many modern books i start is that even if they have some good ideas, the pacing and writing isn't really good. halfway through i'd rather read a synopsis on wikipedia.
@mischievoustomato okay I gave the book that inspired this post to fable and told it to take the ideas and general plot, make it a 50 page short story with new characters and setting and use the style of an actually good writer, the result is indeed better.
although this has been an issue with much of scifi lit since forever.
@lain llms could fix this.

@mischievoustomato they probably can.
@lain it's a matter of time until a writer has a crashout because a reader emails them "your book fucking sucks to read, had to ask chatgpt to improve it. fuck you" lmfao

@lain I've been doing this with movies and tv since Obama's second term

@pwm there's a bunch of super popular youtube channels that do nothing but summarize movies.
