Thank you so much. I didn't know I was actually following these steps while using it.

Thanks. I have been trying different methods to write my stories in chatgpt fast.

I also remember how we used to consume several bottles of Tipp Ex for a little light novel. At the time, it was said that the introduction of word processing would ruin the style.

Thanks. Very useful run-through. I've seen examples of it taking dialogue, exposition, and introspection, and improving them no end, actually shocking the author.

This is great. I was in a poetry class on Saturday and they talking about a chat book. Is this what they were referring to? I’m going to go to your website for more info. Thank you so much!

Really interesting video, I have been playing around with GPT and different python scripting ideas to generate plots, characters and world-building with varied success. I wholly agree that the writer needs to take control of what the machine gives them and make it their own in their own voice. I have not heard of the snowflake method but I will give it a try with an upcoming title. How do you feel the snowflake method would work with a book sequel or series? I would be interested to hear your take on incorporating the method into a larger ongoing series

I had been writing a novel with chat gpt as my research and brainstorming assistant. For example one of the components of the story is the USA becoming a democratic dictatorship. I ask it to find me examples throughout history and I ask it questions of how I can apply it to my story. It isn’t generating the story just streamlining the creative process.

Thaks for doing these videos. I'm learning a lot. After seeing comments about how using ai produced work has to be credited I decided to ask ChatGPT about it. I first asked it "If you help me come up with a story idea and flesh it out with settings and characters. And then I have you write out a draft which I then take and rewrite. Do I have to credit you?" after getting the answer, I then asked, "Are you considered a source?" I think the answers straight from ChatGPT should put to rest the debate. I'd love it if you would do a video on the answers and what you think?

This is a really interesting and informative video. Did ChatGPT just give you the outline of the novel and you wrote this rest. I love the book imagery as well.

"It can do your first draft for you, and you can write your novel from there." That's not *your* novel then -- you're merely a reviser of AI's output, not a true-blue, my-blood-and-guts-are-on-the-page writer who contended with the blank screen. This obsession with calling one's self a novelist without doing the initial heavy-lifting (the "hardest part" as you yourself admit) is the 7-minute minute abs/diet pills version of writing. To quote Seinfeld on Curb Your Enthusiasm: "Have you noticed that everything is 'without' these days? Raise your kids without raising them!" This is writing without writing, no matter what amount of prompting & tweaking one does. What hard-earned pride is there in it, truly? What investment-of-self? What I-have-a-burning-personal-need-to-tell-this-story? There's only the fraudulent post-facto pride of "I have 10 novels." Do not kid yourself and do not try to kid others: those novels were not truly *written* by you, and this *isn't* the democratization of writing -- it's merely a making-way-for-the-uninspired-and-lazy-shortcutter and it has encouraged a new kind of charlatan-guru telling the undedicated how to "write a book in ChatGPT in half an hour." Raise your kids without raising them, indeed.

Have you considered having your PC work solely in Dark Mode, it's really good and easy to convert to.

I've been working on a novel, and I've been using ChatGPT and Quillbot. I have about 40k words so far. The problem that I see with these AI programs is they have a difficult time with variety in writing. For example, I often will end up with the same chapter ending that sounds more like the ending of a short story. I found that I need to stay with the same chat session or the ChatGPT will diverge from the original story. I'll keep experimenting with commands and ideas to get a more compelling story, but my novel right at this moment is too idyllic. If you have any suggestions though...

Yea no, I don't think ripping other authors works to create an amalgamation is the heart of creating something like a story. Every story even the most light hearted connect because it carries a certain amount of convention and beliefs from the author that shows up in a story. An AI is unable to do that. You can tell it to add a theme but it will never be able to connect on a deeper level because it is unable to actually connect the theme with the emotional tones it should feel; Only with what it thinks a person should feel

ChatGTP seems no different from ghost writers or brainstorming sessions with drunk friends: something to get the process going but needs a lot of work to refine into something attractive, yes?

Can you share the music at the end of video?

I appreciate so much all you do to help us - AI lies - AI is a pathological liar - but it's learning - it's been exposing scientific theories as preposterous nonsense - so AI may be developing a conscience.

This is inherently evil. If you want to write a story, write it as yourself, your thoughts, your emotions and experiences.
