I Asked AI (ChatGPT) to Help Me Write a Romance Book

Welcome back, Book Lovers!

For today's video, I decided to do something different and (hopefully) fun: I tried to get AI (artificial intelligence) to write a romance book for me. I won't be getting a full 300-page novel, but I'm curious to see what kind of romance story AI can come up with. I'm using ChatGPT, which has been widely talked about. Despite hearing so much about it, I honestly have no idea how this will turn out. If you’re reading this article, it means it worked well enough to warrant a post!

I made an account and saw what ChatGPT looks like. To kick things off, I started with a simple greeting:

Hello

ChatGPT: Hello! How can I assist you today?

I would like you to help me write a romance book.

ChatGPT: Of course! Writing a romance book can be a wonderful and fulfilling experience. Where would you like to start? Do you have an idea in mind for your story or characters?

Since I was diving in as if I wanted to write a romance book, I asked about popular romance tropes:

What are some popular romance book tropes?

ChatGPT listed seven well-known romance tropes, including "Enemies to Lovers," "Friends to Lovers," and "Billionaire Romance." I settled on a "forbidden billionaire romance."

Let's go with a forbidden billionaire romance.

ChatGPT: Sure! A forbidden billionaire romance can be a captivating story. Here’s a potential plot to get you started:

Title: The Billionaire’s Secret Love

Madison is a hardworking waitress in New York City, struggling to make ends meet. She has dreams of being a writer but has postponed them to support her family. One day, she catches the eye of William Kensington, a billionaire CEO who is already engaged to a wealthy socialite. Despite their different backgrounds and William’s engagement, Madison and William can't resist their attraction and begin a secret romance. However, Madison discovers William has been manipulating people, including his fiancée. She must decide whether to stay or pursue her dreams, while William must choose between power and love.

This plot seemed like an excellent basis for a romance story, though I wanted to make a few adjustments:

Can you make William an older daddy hero?

ChatGPT updated the plot, emphasizing William's older age, making him more intriguing. I then asked:

How will a fiancée mess up William and Madison's romance?

ChatGPT added more drama by making Victoria, William's fiancée, a powerful socialite who hires a private investigator to break them up.

Since every good romance needs a powerful emotional climax, I asked for groveling:

How will William use his wealth to grovel?

ChatGPT suggested William could help Madison achieve her writing dreams, fund a luxurious project, and arrange romantic getaways.

Lastly, I tried to add more personality to the title and design suggestions for the book cover. I chose Taming the Billionaire’s Wild Heart and Lacey Wright as the pen name.

Do you have suggestions for the book cover?

ChatGPT recommended themes of Forbidden Love, billionaire lifestyles, and sensual imagery to attract readers.
