I wonder if you have come across one of Roald Dahl's classic short stories in this vein, conveniently online (and probably in GPT-4's training data at some memetic level):

Neal Stephenson plays with some of the same ideas as Vonnegut touches on here in The Diamond Age, although he focuses a little more on the pedagogy of a Universal Storyteller compared to its mechanical execution.

Very cool! Wonder if there are stories where the resulting graph is counterintuitive. What happens if you put in James Joyce's Ulysses or Finnegans Wake? Or the Mahabharata?

Exceptional job. I love that you're focusing on how to use the API in a structured pipeline, rather than manually input free-form prompt engineering. More of this please!

Fascinating! Thanks for running this experiment. It really opens the mind about how we can constructively use AI.

How does ChatGPT decide how many data points to give you for each character?
