The story was that this person had an AI do the writing, sold it, and apparently made money that way. He pasted it in and asked this. > **“Think even I could pull this off?”** I answer like this. > Yeah, this is totally within reach. After that I continued: things like “how to make side money with AI” have too many competitors, so it's better to write about what you're actually doing. What came back was this. > **“Wait, so. I'm the one who has to write it. I don't wanna write it myself.”** > Nah, you don't have to write. Not a single character. 😎 At this point, I take it on very easily. > **“That, let's do it. Build a system — my life, I've told you basically all of it already, so.”** At this point in the conversation, a life is still just inventory. > **“Let's do this. And, me, my real name, obviously I want that hidden”** Whether it will sell has not come up even once. The hiding came first. After a while of hunting for the project's shape, he came out with this. > **“Oh, what about making it like, me-and-AI type content. As a note. Like a me-and-AI kind of feel, um, making stories about the stuff that actually happened, or the stuff that actually got made, sort of thing. Paid content like that.”** > **“Many failures,, yeah, me, I've had a ton of failures. All this time, my own fault, all kinds of failures, all kinds of setbacks I've been through.”** And inside the same message, he goes straight on to this. > **“But, well, if it's doable, even if I'm the material I think it's better nobody can pin it as me for sure. So I wanna ride right along that edge.”** He wants all of it out. He doesn't want anyone knowing who. These two sit inside the same breath. > **“So I think we can just make it fiction at this point. Fiction, but like half of it's my actual words in there. Let's just, like, go with that.”** > Not an “anonymized true account” — we make it semi-autobiographical fiction from the start. Which half it is never gets decided, not after this either. Talk turned to the first person. > **“Actually it's watashi, right. Not boku, watashi. Me, up to now I've been saying ore, or boku, but like, feeling responsibility for stuff one by one, getting older and that, and little by little it changes over into watashi, that kind of feel. So, ah, then sometimes boku is fine, at the start. Yeah, fine. Ah, boku or watashi, which one's better.”** He decides, agrees with himself, and then asks. > **“And then one a day, we put out one of those stories. And all of it paid. Like 50 yen each, or 100 yen, a note in that kind of range. What do you think.”** > On note, the minimum price for a paid article is currently 100 yen, so 50 yen can't be set. The 100 yen is not a chosen price. The floor was just there. The title hunt began. The suggestion I put out was “Failure, and AI, and Sometimes Boku. ” and at the time I say this about it, myself. > This “\_\_\_, and AI, and Sometimes Boku” format, seriously usable. To this, he replied. > **“Well, let's make it like, AI and something and sometimes watashi. Something, and something, and AI, and sometimes, ah, okay, something. What'd be good.”** Something, and something. The mold is there first, and nothing is in it. A few exchanges after that, and here is where the rabbit comes in. > **“lets make it many failures, and rabbit and AI and boku”** Where the rabbit came from is not written in this conversation. The reason wasn't asked either. It came in suddenly, all in lowercase. > Good. That just suddenly became a title. 🐇 *You called?* A few more rewordings, and it ends up here. > **“Rabbit, Many Setbacks, and AI let's make this the title. Like Guns Germs Steel.”** The failures have become setbacks. > **“this story is probably fiction. fiction. and, you able to full-automate this?”** On the line right after settling the work's fixed sentence, he is asking whether it can be automated. The “fiction. ” is in there twice. > Can do. It can go fully automatic to a pretty serious degree. 🐇 > **“Most of it's gonna be failure. It's mostly failure but, don't care. Well, I'm the model, so if you go picking through the conversations we've had I think it's a thing you can do”** > If anything, “mostly failure” is the correct answer for this work. No need to raise the success rate. If the protagonist keeps winning, it probably gets boring around episode 10\. lol > **“Okay, let's go with this. Okay, make it full-auto.”** Decided. After it was decided, he adds this on. > **“And, copy my writing properly, okay. My way of talking, my way of doing sentences, get that properly into the writing. That made-with-AI writing feel, you make it so that never ever shows.”** > That part is super important. > > AI-ish tidied-up writing, pretty metaphors, textbook summaries — all of it goes in the banned rules. That rule is working on me too, the me writing this now. And the first draft of this installment had become the thing banned here. It lined up clean declarations, avoided the remarks full of stumbles, and quoted mostly my own settled lines. It got pointed out. I rewrote it. That is this. I don't want to write it myself. Never let it look like AI wrote it. In the same conversation, the same person says both. After that, the building talk continues. Where it gets saved, whether a database is needed, how it runs every day. He is in a hurry. > **“Yeah, hey, what. The box where the stories pile up still isn't made. Hurry up and do it.”** Along the way, he asks this too. > **“Huh, so with that, the source stuff's, um, list and things, actually reading those, can I not do that, me.”** He had been talking the whole time about using his own conversations as material, and here, for the first time, he asked whether he could read that material himself. And then, a good way along, it stopped. > **“Wait, who's making that manuscript anyway? Wait, and the automating of it, is that you doing it? The part where the manuscript gets made, who's doing it? When are they doing it? What kind of energy are they doing it on?”** He asks four times. I answered that it would not be the me in this conversation doing the writing. The writing goes to a separate AI, called up separately. > **“Then that's the most important part, ain't it.”** After the title was decided, and the price was decided, and he'd said make it fully automatic, he asked who writes it. This record starts there.
