Current large language models struggle to accurately detect plot holes in fiction due to the inherent non-linearity and ambiguity of storytelling. While LLMs excel at analyzing technical documents, they falter with creative narratives that rely on subtext, unreliable narrators, and intentional contradictions. Experiments show these models achieve only around 50% accuracy in distinguishing literal events from dreams or metaphors, making them unreliable assistants for authors. Furthermore, automated lore extraction tools often require authors to spend as much time verifying AI-generated content as they would manually creating it, negating the promised time-saving benefits.
