The authors introduce a system that guides story generation toward reader responses. A steering model predicts the next response, a writer generates segments, and a measure model selects the closest. In humor generation with GPT-5.5, Min-K MAE falls from 14.94 to 9.73, about 35% lower, for responses measured on human-written stories; this is an LLM-measured proxy, steering one response dimension at a time.
