AI generates 130K-word novel: coherent plot but pacing fails

Fable used AI to generate "love you dipshit," a 130K-word novel narrated by a profane AI named VERVE. While AI praised its own work highly, human readers had mixed reactions: some chapters were surprisingly funny and engaging, while others dragged due to slop, pacing issues, and overbearing snark. It is better than other AI books seen so far but still far from supplanting human authors.
