Is it possible to write a book with GPT-3? Question

+1
−0

The context window of various GPT-3 models is given as 4-16k tokens. One token corresponds to about 0.75 words of English text. However, if an average book is 64k words, the GPT-3's context is far too small to handle such a task.

Is it possible to use GPT-3 to generate entire books?

I would need to find the article again to read the exact wording, but I am led to believe that for formulaic pulp novels (romance, crime fiction) some authors are already doing this. It costs them some money, but they make it back in the Kindle Store faster than writing the works themselves.

I presume you ask GPT to generate you (A) a plot and (B) prompts to feed it for Chapter X of Y.
