Understand

The virtuosity of language models like GPT-3 opens a new world of possibility for human-AI collaboration in writing.

In this paper, we present a framework in which generative language models are conceptualized as multiverse generators.
This framework also applies to human imagination and is core to how we read and write fiction.
We call for exploration into this commonality through new forms of interfaces which allow humans to couple their imagination to AI to write, explore, and understand non-linear fiction.
