   I am more interested in the 18 people who replied "yes" to "An AI wrote an entire coherent book".

   Maybe they mean a non-fiction "Learn Javascript in 21 Days" type of book? If not, I really want to read a novel-length (or even novelletee - 80k words or so) book written by an AI to see for myself if the results are comparable to non-self-published authors.

      I guess there's a difference between a coherent book, and a good book?

      I've gotten AI to generate an entire book, with the plot points kept coherent (this character knows that when this chapter starts, that kind of thing). It didn't impress my wife, but it was a book.

         Please share it, and tell me if it was one-shot or not.

            It wasn't one-shot, I answered a few questions to do with the structure. But all the hard word was done by Claude.

            Not sure how I'd share it. I suppose I could order a copy for you.
