I fed it to Grokkk and told it to "make it more epic" and "use more forbidden words", and it produce "The OK Buddy Problem by Shiba Inu". It starts the same way, but transitions jarringly from the Cultural Revolution to some kind of screed about white farmers in South Africa and then 400 pages of pictures of the Sun in a bikini. I can see why it's so well-regarded in hard sci-fi circles.

smh @ sophon gooners
I took the sophons out entirely. It didn't make sense.
actually tho.
I like the part where she says FUCK IT WE BALL and hits the big red button
In one of my sequels, The Three-Body Problem: Easier Problems, my character (Dr. Happybadger) saves the world just by building a better spaceship than the Trisolaran ones. It's honestly pathetic the original books didn't think of that because it was the first thing ChatGPT said I should do.
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.
If you don't feed the gpt, does it starve?
