I work on a product that uses AI to write interactive stories and I think it's a perfect description.

People hear my product "writes stories" and always ask why the site doesn't have any features to share a full story: because it wouldn't make sense.

It'd be like listening to a stream of every song a person has ever played for themselves. Maybe they didn't write the songs, but they chose them based on the moment. Sometimes they start a song and skip half way because they already got the emotion, sometimes they repeat the saddest part 10 times.

They weren't trying to build a playlist for others to consume, it was for them, and only they could have come up with it.
