I suppose I am sympathetic to the feeling of having weird tastes uncatered to by the market. But in that instance, why not actually try and write such stories yourself? And as a reader, what is the appeal of reading stories regurgitated by a stochastic algorithm when the possibility is there instead of connecting to another human soul?

Oh I do. They are just utter garbage but that's beside the point.

This caters to a different lets say need.

Like I said in another post it's more like low tech holodeck or maybe create your own adventure. Where the story evolves based on simple directives

They are just utter garbage

As someone once said, "Fail again. Fail better."

And, anyway, so what if they are bad? They are authentically the product of a single human soul rather than some grey-gruel average of millions. There is an awful lot of value in that.

Yeah not wrong. But as I said this is not a replacement tool for my writing but another hobby, akin to roleplaying maybe
