Posted *again*!
This time it's a slightly racy short story about the epiphenomenal theory of #consciousness , as one does... #philosophy #fiction
Foam on the Waves

I will note also (but not weblog about, at least not yet) that I had a discussion with #chatgpt 4.0 about the story, and it was quite encouraging as to its quality and need for (very little) copy-editing.
It did not, unsurprisingly, suggest anything much about the story that I didn't already know. :)
Ah, there is this, though: the fact that the LLM was able to talk about the story and its themes and things and be "correct" (i.e. get what I was trying or intending or expecting to convey), says that at least the story is not entirely incomprehensible!
So that's nice. :)
Dang, I should ask it what "The Girl and the Skulls" means. Given that I don't really know myself.
I wonder if it fits into the input window...
Interestingly, the entire text of "The Girl and the Skulls" fit into #ChatGPT 3.5 just fine, but 4.0 said it was too long! I wonder what that means.
They were, as seems to be their habit, quite complimentary. Thus GPT 4.0:
"The narrative is beautifully layered with vivid descriptions, creating a fascinating world of the supernatural that echoes an eerie, unsettling atmosphere. However, the story remains open to interpretation and could be analyzed in numerous ways, inviting readers to delve deeper into its rich and intriguing symbolism."
Well, thank you! :)
"echoes an eerie, unsettling atmosphere" is a bit of a mixed metaphor there, too, big guy! :P
