Introduction
Introduction
Hello Riley besties, welcome back to my channel! Hi, I hope you're well. If you don't know me, hello, my name is Anna, and I create writing content and related videos. Today’s video is super exciting because I’m collaborating with the wonderful Rachel from @rachelwritesbooks on YouTube.
What Is This Challenge?
Rachel and I are using an AI system called ChatGTP (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) to create short stories. We've decided to use the same two words to see how different our stories turn out and evaluate if AI can effectively assist in writing. If you enjoy this challenge, don't forget to subscribe to my channel and check out Rachel's video linked below.
The AI System: ChatGTP
ChatGTP, short for Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer, is essentially a chatbot. You can input various prompts, such as "write a poem about flowers," and it generates human-like responses based on numerous sources. In one of my previous videos, I explored this interface and discovered that it can even plot books!
The Challenge Parameters
Rachel and I used a random name generator to come up with two words that would guide our story: Reconciliation and Horoscopes. The goal is to write a 500-word flash fiction piece inspired by these words and the AI-generated plot.
Generating the Plot
I opened ChatGTP and entered:
write a story about reconciliation and horoscopes
The plot created by ChatGTP was about Ava, who turned to her daily horoscopes for guidance, especially after a breakup with her boyfriend, Jake. The horoscope suggested reconciliation, so she reached out to Jake, leading to them reconciling and continuing their relationship.
Brainstorming and Writing
Taking inspiration from the AI-generated plot, I decided to emphasize certain elements like Ava's fascination with horoscopes, the relationship theme, and the idea of trust. I also planned to add a dramatic twist to make the story more engaging.
Key Points to Retain:
- Characters (Ava and Jake)
- Ava's fascination with horoscopes
- The reconciliation theme
- Trust as another theme
After brainstorming, I started writing and quickly realized 500 words were too limiting. I ended up with a story of around 1000 words.
The Final Story: "Dead End"
Here is the story I wrote, inspired by ChatGTP's plot:
Title: Dead End
Story Content: Ava had found it hard to ignore the blood her fingers were still clamped ...
(The complete story as per original script.)
Reflections and Thoughts
Upon completing the story, I reflected on how using AI impacted my writing process. I believe AI can be a valuable tool, providing inspiration and guiding ideas. This challenge showed that while AI can supply a basic framework, your creativity and personal touch bring the story to life.
Special Thanks
A big thank you to Rachel for collaborating with me on this fun challenge! I’m excited to continue exploring how AI can be integrated into the writing process. Don’t forget to check out Rachel’s video to see her unique take on the same prompts.
