Show HN: I asked AI to write Sci-Fi for eternity (f055.net)

A developer has embarked on an intriguing side project to harness AI for generating science fiction stories, inspired by Isaac Asimov's novels. The initiative initially resulted in a "Never-Ending Novel," where two AI models collaborated to create a continuous narrative, producing some compelling lines alongside the frustrations of convoluted plot structures. Despite the initial aim of crafting a concise, engaging read, the story morphed into a lengthy space opera filled with AI quirks. In response to the limitations of the first approach, the creator has shifted to a "Novel Index" model, where the AIs generate distinct novellas within a specified paragraph range, allowing for multiple short stories that can be enjoyed in one or two sittings. This new model maintains the same technical infrastructure—using a straightforward Perl script to manage AI interactions and a user-friendly front-end for tracking reader progress—while solving the issues of pacing and coherence. The Novel Index aims to provide a steady stream of concise, enjoyable sci-fi content, making it a refreshing option for fans seeking quick reads amidst a sea of infinite narratives.
