Larry Archer's World (LarryArcher.blog)

For a few months now, I’ve been toying with the idea of using AI to generate erotic stories for my adoring fans. That way, with AI generating my smut stories and the publisher sending my checks directly to the bank, then I can buy a place in the Bahamas with a native girl or two to fan me and wipe my fevered brow. Screw you, DJT, and the horse you rode in on for stopping the government from paying for my sex change operation!

Back in the real world, I’ve found that AI is helpful after waving my credit card around, but there is no panacea to help me push back from the keyboard. The fundamental problem that I face is training AI to replace me. As authors, most of us have a “style” with which we write. By that, I mean reading an author’s work, you can often recognize the writer’s name simply by the typical writing style of the story.

Like many other erotica writers, I do it because we enjoy writing dirty stories, not to get rich. Smut stories have moved out from under the counter at the local 7-11 to Amazon, Apple, SmashWords (D2D), and others to become mainstream literature. Gone are the days of error-filled hand-typed sheets spotted with unknown substances to slick publications that look like Playboy; smut has evolved. Kicking and screaming, erotic authors have been dragged into the world where proper word use is required.
