This is really, really interesting. Great job!
As an amateur writer who is interesting in playing with this -- any tips on how to get started? I tried the AI Playground website, and fed it a premise, but it constantly decides to "go off the rails" so as to speak. I suspect that I am using it wrong, but I am not sure.
It has really great, great potential. I see word processors for writers coming with some sort of AI integrated in the future, sort of like some of Photoshop's tools. This may be a good idea for a project, actually haha.
- jamesjyu 6y agoYou should come into it having a premise for the story laid out. GPT-3 is great at suggesting possibilities at the paragraph level, but beyond that, it'll lose the thread. The simplest thing is to go to it when you get stuck. You sort of know what the scene should be doing, but maybe you're having trouble connecting to the end. Give it a whirl in playground and see if it sparks an idea—give it the last few paragraphs and see what it comes up with. At the macro level, I've been able to get GPT-3 to generate plot possibilities by giving it example scenes or endings. It's all about prompt engineering, and you'll need to spend a lot of time in the playground or writing your own app to take full advantage.
