An AI-powered tool for creating fictional stories
NovelAI is an artificial intelligence tool that can be used to generate human-like prose and automatically create fictional stories in a number of genres. It also adapts to the user's writing style, mimicking the style of real-life authors. The underlying machine learning technology has been trained using real literature.
The solution has similarities with AI Dungeon 2. However, it has a clearer focus on writing rather than gaming. It can also be considered a fiction writing tool equivalent to an AI software package like Jasper.
Create memorable stories quickly
Users can guide the AI by providing information, such as the theme of the story and the style of writing. NovelAI can emulate the writing styles of real-life authors, and a variety of themes are available, from fantasy to science fiction. The AI's output can then be tweaked, so users can create the stories they want.
In addition to this text-based functionality, NovelAI also includes an image generation feature, using artificial intelligence to create anime-style characters. The technology is a custom version of the text-to-image Stable Diffusion model, and Novel AI Diffusion passes all ownership rights to the user.
Original and legal AI artwork
So, where does NovelAI get its images from? The images are created from scratch, and NovelAI image generation draws from common art styles. The data used to train the machine learning technology includes real artwork, which has proved controversial, although it is currently legal in most countries.
NovelAI is often compared to AI Dungeon 2, but the two solutions are quite different. While AI Dungeon 2 is focused on gamification and the sharing of 'create your own adventure' stories, NovelAI is focused on more conventional fiction writing.
Encrypted cipher
NovelAI creates original, coherent stories in a variety of writing styles. One of the most impressive aspects is the lack of censorship and the privacy on offer. All stories are encrypted using the XSalsa20 cipher, ensuring no one else can read them without permission.
