For someone who is a bit techie, but not familiar with much past the original PyTorch, can I get an explanation of why this should matter to me? Are we at the point yet where I can give one of these LLMs a list of characters and an introductory paragraph, and get a 100K word book out of it yet? Totally not asking because I have too many ideas and not enough time to write them all...

If the model has big enough context window, yes. If the 100k word book is good enough for you is another story.

GPT-4 turbo has a 128k token context, which might be good enough for your book.

You might also use another strategy: write a summary of what your book is about and the title of each chapter, then pass the summary plus the chapter title to the LLM and it will generate for you. This would allow you to go beyond the 100k word limit.
