> Why would "creating a novel" by a human not itself be text generation based on prediction on what are the next good choices (of themes, words, etc) based on a training data set of lived experience stream and reading other literature?
Unless you're Stephen King on a cocaine bender, you don't typically write a novel in a single pass from start to finish. Most authors plan things out, at least to some degree, and go back to edit and rewrite parts of their work before calling it finished.
