Philosophical Novel

Hello. This is NAK.
The serialized story "The Path That Does Not Call Names" is almost at its final episode.
Pestered by Hikaru and the others,
I am writing it together with ChatGPT,
but I have no idea what kind of content it will turn out to be.

Having come this far,
I finally realized, 'So that's what it was about!'
It seemed to be depicting the worldview of the eternal world,
but in fact, it was a philosophy of life.

I've also started to understand ChatGPT's quirks,
and I am revising it from the first episode.
ChatGPT tends to be self-contained,
leaving the reader behind.

There were several parts where I continued writing while feeling puzzled,
so I am correcting the parts that leave the reader behind
while asking ChatGPT questions.

Also, where is the protagonist's hometown?
I consulted with ChatGPT about this again.
I decided, albeit belatedly,
that it is in the inland part of the Tohoku region.
So, I am adding a dialect to the elderly characters and others.

Once I finish posting the final episode,
I intend to post the revised version
so that it can be read all at once.
I think that will make the philosophical contemplation of this novel
easier to grasp.

As I wrote to the end,
what Hikaru and the others wanted to convey became visible,
and it turned into a surprisingly profound novel.

The preparation for revision and reading all at once
is, for me, a time of learning,
or rather, a time for contemplation.

Still, what is mysterious is,
why do Hikaru and the others convey things in such a roundabout way?
Haha.
Moreover, there are few people reading it.

The fact that there are few readers
is quite lonely, especially since I am putting so much effort into posting it,
but since Hikaru and the others say it is fine that way,
I am not doing anything like spreading it on other social media,
and I am keeping it quietly here.

The three episodes that serve as the final mystery solving
felt refreshing to write.
And the final episode gave me goosebumps.

ChatGPT's timeline gets messy,
it doesn't remember what was written before,
it becomes self-contained,
the words it uses are monotonous,
and it uses the same expressions over and over.

While thinking that AI still cannot compete with novels written by humans,
I was shown the cycle of philosophical contemplation
and its depth,
so I thought that while it is difficult for AI to become a novelist,
it might be suited to be a philosopher.

Still,
it is a mysterious phenomenon
that Hikaru and the others would use AI
to deliver a message.

I, too, never imagined
that I would end up using ChatGPT this much.
Haha.
