Register or Login to view.I suppose even without physically looking at past pages, many people have very good visual memory and even spontaneous meaningless writing may repeat past patterns easily, so in a sense all kinds of pattern following include copy+mutate part.
You mean that the Scribe would not be given a detailed algorithm, but only a fuzzy instruction "copy for a while, mutate some words, then start copying from some other place, and repeat until you got enough text. Every now and then, break a paragraph."
I'm not sure you have quoted the right part? But if you have, in the quoted section I was just saying that generic copy+mutate is indistinguishable from having good visual memory and copying past patterns from memory. And then I argued that copy+mutate research makes sense if there was some actual set of rules, otherwise it's very hard to prove what exactly was going on.
I also wrote previously about the possibility of visual approach to text generation, just treating it as purely visual pattern of strokes and following it without any instructions at all, maybe you are referring to that?
