What is Wrong with Language Models that Can Not Tell a Story?

Ivan P. Yamshchikov, Alexey Tikhonov

This paper argues that a deeper understanding of narrative and the successful generation of longer subjectively interesting texts is a vital bottleneck that hinders the progress in modern Natural Language Processing (NLP) and may even be in the whole field of Artificial Intelligence. We demonstrate that there are no adequate datasets, evaluation methods, and even operational concepts that could be used to start working on narrative processing.
