So I messed around with an A.I. writing tool last night.
I wanted to see if it could prompt a few ideas about a chapter I’ll be writing soon. It should go without saying I had no intention of using any of its prose.
I had to use around 200-300 words to set things up, but that wasn’t nearly enough it turns out. My story just has too many details, constraints, history, and general rules to follow that it makes it rather too cumbersome to deal with. Just teaching it how the magic works, I would probably need 500-1000 words. I re-wrote the prompts a few times, adding details, but it didn’t help all that much.
Anyway, not surprisingly, it generated very generic stuff, nothing I couldn’t come up with myself. And since my brainstorming for my story has been working pretty well lately, I’ll just stick to that.
The A.I. is pretty clever, to be sure, and if I was writing something different, it might have sometimes been helpful.
Interesting little experiment. I’m sticking with what I know works.
