You just tripped over the very thing that I had a discussion on ChatGPT just this morning. The limitations of AI for writing things like books or stories is very limited because it is designed to think in plurality. So when I challenged ChatGPT to go more in depth, it requires that you’re very specific and even then the coded in guard rails will sanitize your intent.
In some ways, I think this is a benefit for authors. AI being incapable right now of detecting nuance in a storyline and expanding that nuance as part of a plot, should separate the AI writers from the true authors.
The company that I use for web hosting and acquiring domain names provides a number of services and assistance using AI. This ranges from completely creating a website after answering a few questions about what you are hoping... to assisting with content creation with WordPress AI plugins.
So, I have been dabbling around with this a bit. Sometimes the results seem quite impressive and other times not so much. Another Freeper who is far more knowledgeable than myself about this subject told me just yesterday referring to using AI in coding and content creation,
“It works well for me to prototype something because I know what to request and how to offer suggestions for improvement to get to the desired result. It’s a bit like have a Stradivarius violin. A fine instrument that often exceeds to ability of the user to exploit. A fine musician can make good music even on a mediocre instrument. It’s more a matter of competence of the performer than quality of the device.”
Some of the things that AI is being used to create is almost unbelievable, but at this time the person behind these creations is typically still the driving force. But this area is evolving quickly. It is a good idea to at least become familiar with the basic concepts and spend time tinkering with the tools that are available.
An unfortunate trend that I have noticed is the rapid proliferation of Clickbait YouTube videos that use the same few AI narration voices. They present a stream of slideshow nonsense that has little value to anyone but manage to attract a lot of viewers. These productions are designed only to make a few bucks at the expense of clogging the system up with complete garbage. These videos are very recognizable, and I assume anyone who spends much time watching YouTube videos is familiar with them.
I use AI as an editor to offer sample rewrites of my sales material text. I don’t always use it in total, but bits and pieces often fit nicely to punch things up a bit.
