jemckBringing this from writer Joseph Malik over from Bluesky. I think it's spot on.
"Subtext separates a novel from a novel-length story. Subtext is the part that AI can't--and never will--generate. It can't read for subtext. It can read Cliff's Notes to determine an existing novel's subtext, but there is no mathematical or logical process to create it. Subtext is uniquely human."
It's the conclusion to a 3-post thread. You can find that via my mentions over there if you're so inclined.
