My New Notepad

AI is certainly everywhere these days.

Simple Chat GPT, Art AI to give you nice pictures, AI roleplaying like Poly (now with Buzz and Fizz) and C.AI-- Chai.

I don't know when exactly I first had enough curiosity to try AI tools.

In part it was the Chat GPT South Park episode. In others, it was the commercials which said I could speak as my favorite characters. Or no...

Here it is.

The truth, I saw a commercial which said AI could write whatever story you wanted. Bring it to life. I figured, the computer would take with my style or otherwise, write a nice short story of the ludicrous concepts I have. Perhaps they'd be a little clearer.

But, it really doesn't tell a story. Not at all. In fact, it just regurgitates everything else back at you when you try to detail what you want written. Now you have quite a lot of nothing except the occasional good metaphor or prose.

As a writer, I believe AI gets ideas started.

You give it the prompt you want to work with, for example, a potential superhero poached by the supervillain with his memory wiped.

Then you do your best to elaborate. On the characters, on the world, elaborate and asking questions.

And from there you can form the stories yourself with a foundation for the timeline and story events as well as how they can coincide and enhance character story arcs.

I have about twelve note files on AI with at least twenty different stories spread out between them.

It's my AI notebook.
