AI-based authoring tools are not new. What makes Wordcraft different is that it was created as a tool to help you create works of fiction. Google describes it as a kind of “purposeful text editor”. Users can ask Wordcraft to rewrite sentences or redirect a sentence to make it funnier. It can also identify objects or generate clues when prompted.
To test Wordcraft, Google hosted a workshop with 13 professional writers to test how well the prototype worked. While the authors appreciated Wordcraft as a tool for generating new ideas, they unanimously agreed (what else could they say?) that this tool will not replace authors anytime soon.
To begin with, the tool didn’t stick very well to the storytelling style and produced mean or clichéd lyrics. In addition, he adhered to proven allusions and did not just use “evil” characters.
