I asked ChatGPT to write a 60,000 word crime novel. It gave me 1,500. I gave it some more prompts, added some of my own (very minor) editing and you have Killer Instinct - a slightly odd crime novella, around 3,500 words, which "AI" thinks reflects James Patterson and Lee Child's styles - with a nod to Harry Potter thrown in for good measure.
If you're curious about ChatGPT and want to have one of the first AI books on your shelf or to start conversations, this is for you. Or if you want a short story that will take under 15 minutes to read... you might like this too.
Here's the blurb written by ChatGPT about the story (I removed one sentence which gives the entire plot away): "Killer Instinct" follows the story of two young investigators, Rebecca and Daniel, as they track down a serial killer in the streets of London. As the investigation unfolds, tensions rise and secrets are revealed, leading to a dramatic and heart-pumping finale. This action-packed crime thriller will keep readers on the edge of their seats as they follow the twisting plot and unexpected betrayals.
