A novel has a very specific definition, and these texts do not qualify. The gulf between 75 paragraphs and a novel (even a novella) is vast.

AI is nowhere near being able to produce a novel worth reading. The author's already heavily qualifying these ~10 page short stories, because the ratio of slop to moderately interesting content is still so unacceptably high.

Consider putting some energy towards finding more human sci-fi worth reading, because Asimov might be a pioneer, but he is hardly the most accessible or enjoyable read. I guarantee this brand of chocolate is better.

You're correct these text are much better called short stories, but I chose the word "novel" anyway. And despite the slop, I still find this experiment interesting for one: because it intrigues me how AI ponders on the subject of sovereignty, and for two: because when I tried other, human novels I also encountered slop (albeit human): pages of meaningless descriptions, deliberations and dead-end side-plots.
