Writing with A.I.: My Style (Patreon)

Continuing with my experiment in A.I.-assisted writing, a few days ago I stumbled across an option on the Style input box I hadn't noticed before.  When using the "Story Engine" function in Sudowrite, there's a place for defining "Style" - this is supposed to influence the AI's output (a lot!) when writing the outline and the prose.  I'm not convinced it does much, but I'm also not sure how to actually tell.

In any case, I discovered a button by the input field for "Match My Style".  Copy-and-Paste about 2000 words of writing, and it'll tell you what your style is, and then summarise that for use with the story engine.

So, why not?  I copied 1500 words from the recent chapter of Constant - the bit where Crystal and Cindy are looking through the article in -Lumen-, and clicked on the button.  This is how it defined my "style":

***

 POV: The passage is written in third-person limited POV, with the focus on Crystal's perspective.

Tone and Mood: The tone is analytical and probing, with a hint of discomfort and unease. The mood is tense and uncomfortable, with a sense of underlying sexuality and exploitation.

Vocabulary and Word Choice: The vocabulary is complex and formal, with occasional use of slang and colloquialisms. The author employs literary devices such as metaphors and similes to create vivid imagery.

Sentence Structure: The sentences are generally long and complex, with occasional use of fragments and repetition. The writing is descriptive and detailed, with a focus on sensory imagery.

Pacing and Rhythm: The pacing is slow and introspective, with a focus on character development and analysis. The rhythm is varied, with occasional bursts of action and tension.

Dialogue: The dialogue is naturalistic and realistic, with a focus on character voice and speech patterns. The author employs unique dialogue tags and formatting techniques to differentiate between speakers.

Descriptive Style: The author's approach to descriptions is detailed and sensory, with a focus on creating vivid imagery. The descriptions are often sexualized and exploitative, with a focus on the female body.

Themes and Motifs: The recurring themes include sexuality, exploitation, and the male gaze. Motifs include fashion, media, and celebrity culture.

Cultural and Historical Context: The piece is set in a futuristic world where AI and technology are prevalent. The author explores the impact of technology on society and culture, particularly in the realm of media and celebrity.

...  not a bad analysis, I think, from a 1500-word sample!
