Before you dismiss AI, I was able to make my own version of The Three-Body Problem with one sun so that it makes more sense. (hexbear.net)

In an otherwise great book, so much of it is filler content about how many suns there are. I don't care about that personally and find it distracting. By feeding the trilogy into ChatGPT, I was able to streamline it and reduce the plotline to one sun- ours for simplicity's sake. Now there are over 40% fewer words.

It actually makes it so much easier to read and understand. When the trisolarans become monosolarans, you realise they aren't so different from you and I. I think that's the moral of the story. Just, share and get along. Live and let live

They're still Trisolarans because that's their name. I didn't change anything else about the book, other than making myself a character and removing two of the suns to make it more efficient.

I don't think you're reading the same book as me. Claude is much better at literary interpretation and recreation IME.

I just wrote another sequel to The Three-Body Problem where I'm right and you're wrong.
