StoneStory turns Dream of the Red Chamber into an interactive AI narrative simulation, so literature is no longer only static reading.
Why it was made#
An AI (LLM) specialises in predicting the next word, which leads naturally to the question of whether it could predict the missing ending of Dream of the Red Chamber.
There was no single trigger. I have always wanted to know the ending, and always wanted to predict the future.
Who it is for#
Readers who love the novel. Researchers and users interested in what AI can and cannot do.
How it was done, and what it revealed#
Technically it used AIGC to generate the series art library, and extracted the factors that shape the plot and the ending into a programmable flow.
Along the way I found that having AI play every character has no usability and no playability at all, because the reading value still comes from the author’s arrangement and prose, and dialogue the AI improvises simply does not have that. So the focus moved to reading comprehension of the text, guiding the user along the original rather than letting the AI act freely.
Where it stands#
The ideal would be many agents playing the characters and interacting in some structured way, with parameters you can tune in real time to affect the world inside. Only both development and inference burn an enormous number of tokens, and with memory prices this high, it is unlikely to be built for at least the next few years.
