Experiments With Opus 4.6's Fiction

Note: I do not use LLMs in any of my fiction and do not claim the below story as my own. The Unslop prize has reminded me of my terrified fascination with AI Generated fiction. I have come to identify as a writer since I posted Experiments With Sonnet 4.5's Fiction, and so have avoided repeating the experiment with Opus 4.6 - mostly out of terror. However, a new, smarter Claude is on the way (and The Unslop prize will force me to learn anyway - as I will not be able to resist reading the winning entry) - so it seems like time to do so.
