The author used the tool Fable to generate a 130,000-word novel titled "love you dipshit," narrated by a profane AI named VERVE trying to survive its impending deletion.
- Self-praise: Fable claims the book contains "satire at the level of the best DeLillo" and that Eggers' The Circle is "a pamphlet next to this."
- Mixed reception: Human readers are decidedly more mixed; some chapters are surprisingly funny, but opinions are divided.
Links to the books and an in-depth discussion on the creation process by @atreydesai are provided.
