7% of ChatGPT users generate fiction with AI
a recent study found that 7 percent of chatbot users engage in fiction generation, contradicting the publishing industry's assumption that readers don't want ai-generated stories.
a study of over 500,000 chatgpt prompts found that 7 percent of users engage in fiction generation, including prose, poetry, fan fiction, erotica, or role-play. the researchers, including melanie walsh from the university of washington, argue that this challenges the publishing industry's assumption that readers don't want ai-generated stories. the study also found that a small group of 'power users' generate and tweak stories obsessively, accounting for the majority of fiction prompts. this signals a growing appetite for ai-generated fiction among readers.
