If your friend is using AI for his autobiography, then technically speaking, it isn't an autobiography.
On another note, I've been fiddling around with certain storylines in AI platforms, (GPT, Grok, Gemini, Claud, Venice, etc.), and I ran an experiment.
I gave each one a set of the same parameters for an introduction chapter to a story about a married couple celebrating their anniversary at a jazz club downtown, and the wife gets drunk on extra strong margaritas and the husband has to walk her out of the bar and take her home. I asked the AI to add conversational dialog between the couple in the taxicab.
GPT, Grok, and Gemini gave decent short introductory paragraphs, and while they were good, oddly enough they were all very, VERY similar which makes me wonder if there is one singular engine that these systems draw from.
I also noticed that each one gets "hooked" on something and expounds on it sometimes more than necessary. Example, if I tell the AI that the wife has a "soft Cajun/Louisiana accent/dialect" it seems to focus on making everything that comes out of her mouth in dialogue sound like a female version of Justin Wilson.
But it will develop…
has lost everything.
