Uh... I don't really see how this approach can work, since it seems like it's begging a fundamental question: Why should we believe that any of the characters within an iterative document is an authorial self-insert by the LLM?

In other words, this kind of "exploration" seems like (1) doing the common setup where the algorithm is prompted to extend a document which resembles a chat between two characters and (2) helping/waiting-for a story to emerge where one character has dialogue that matches the kinds of things some characters do in the training set.

I looked at that file, and I'm afraid you're feeding some weird AI fanfiction script into the LLM and observing how it completes it.
