There is a lot of fanfic from AI, like Claude AI, and this AI is terrible at coming up with good dialogue. For example, in a Superman & Lois fanfic, Jonathan Kent, who’s 23, gets powers through an accident and becomes a superhero in Metropolis. He’s been active for two years, and when Lois finds out she gets mad and demands answers, feeling entitled to information she doesn’t deserve.
When Jon tells her straight up, “I don’t care about you or your opinion. Leave me alone,” she refuses. And when Jon is verbally mean to her, all the characters treat him hostilely.
I’m sorry, but this is all on Lois. If someone tells you to your face they don’t want you around and you refuse to leave their apartment or leave them alone, then if they verbally abuse you, hurt your feelings, or cuss you out, you kind of deserve it.
There was another story that’s supposed to be a super grounded family drama where this cousin, who’s super far left, finds out her younger cousin is a multi-millionaire lawyer and the head of a law firm. The cousin goes into the law firm (somehow security didn’t stop her) and goes to his office to get answers, and she’s mad he didn’t tell her he’s wealthy. The lawyer eggs her on, makes fun of her, etc.
First of all, this is supposed to be a super realistic drama story, but this entire thing is unrealistic. First, it’s not her business how much money her cousin has. It doesn’t matter if he has a hundred million or a billion; it’s none of her business.
Second, there is no way in hell a random person is walking through the building and going up to his office. It doesn’t matter if she’s his cousin. If she was his wife or kid, maybe, but she’s just a cousin. Security would have aggressively escorted her out. She wouldn’t even make it to his office.
And no lawyer or businessman would give her the time of day. Most lawyers and businesspeople are very mature and professional, so they wouldn’t waste time having a political debate with some random family member. If his security is so bad that she manages to get through the front door, the lawyer would call security and she would be escorted out or arrested.
Overall, the dialogue is just so bad. Characters have such non-reactions to things, or they overreact. AI will constantly have characters say, “That’s not nothing,” when no one talks like that.
They are always melodramatic or overdramatic, or they have such a non-reaction. Characters go from 1 to 100 in the blink of an eye.
Why is AI so bad at this? The characters are so beyond stupid to the point where, even if something bad happens, you don’t feel bad for them because they’re idiots.
Unpopular opinion: because it sucks dick.
