Just a note to let all and sundry (especially sundry, you know who you are) that part two of my article on the myth of AI storytelling is now free to read without subscription.
Silence Where a Story Would Have Been
·
In the previous article, we discussed some of the soft-and-fuzzy reasons why an AI system has not and never will produce stories that rise above the purely mediocre. Now we come to the meat of it: the hardcore, technological reason why it hasn’t happened and won’t happen.


Thanks for setting the record straight for how these articles connect.
I’m a huge fan of your work on The Amazing Spider-Man due to your thoughtful and caring approach towards the characters. The one story that I didn’t really agree with was “Sins Past” which featured the offspring of Gwen Stacy and Norman Osborn. It just didn’t sit right with me. Other than that, you were on a roll.
