Adding an AI Writing Workflow Made the Dialogue Worse: A Chinese Script Case Study
Icy-Development5445 · reddit · 2026-11-01
The author found MiMo's direct Chinese script writing produced vivid, characterful dialogue, while wrapping the model in a multi-step writing workflow flattened it into rule-reciting lines. Inspecting the planning stage revealed the workflow had invented its own story rule before writing began, and later steps just preserved that narrowing. The author's working hypothesis: give the creative model a premise plus a few notes, let plain code handle formatting — and asks how to evaluate whether extra planning improves creativity or mere compliance.
