Hey everyone, I’m interested in using a local LLM (Language Model) on a Linux system to create a long story, but I’m not sure where to start. Does anyone have experience with this or know of any resources that could help me get started? I’d love to hear your tips and suggestions. Thanks!

    trying to weasel out of putting some effort into something that sounds worth putting some effort into

    But that depends what do they need it for

    Personally I don’t see a difference between legalese boilerplate and 10k word story. But that discussion might lead us nowhere

      The difference is between spewing out functional text for the purpose of covering your ass in court and human creativity.

      I have no problem with people using AI to generate Excel sheets, meeting records, summaries of articles… I really, REALLY have a problem with people who ditch what makes us human to the wayside and delegate what is ours and ours alone to do to the machine out of laziness.

        But machine will not do the creative part. It can only fill in the time-sinks around our creative ideas. Ask an LLM to tell you a joke no-one has ever heard before and then google it. The creative part still has to come from humans

        EDIT; and the truth is that we very rarely come up with something creative. We mostly just recompile previously met combinations
