  this is actually a good idea, I am generating one right now. prompt: please generate a short story of a journey to an unknown station, in the form of a daily journal, from the point of view of a stranded space crew. the story should last 10 days and have a misterious conclusion story: Day 1: We've been stranded on this unknown station for a day now. It's unclear how we even got here - the last thing I remember is going to sleep on the ship and waking up in some kind of cryogenic chamber. The rest of the crew is in the same boat (pun intended). We've spent the day trying to get our bearings and figure out where we are. The station is abandoned and seems to be in disrepair, but there's evidence that someone has been here recently. We found supplies and a working communication system, but all our attempts to call for help have been unsuccessful. The atmosphere here is tense. No one knows what's going on or what will happen next. We're just trying to stay positive and make the best of a bad situation. Day 2: We spent most of the day searching the station for any clues about where we are and how we got here. We found a few more supplies and some old documents, but nothing that shed any light on the situation. One strange thing we discovered is that the station's power source seems to be functioning on its own, despite the fact that it should have run out of fuel long ago. It's as if the station is being powered by some kind of external source. We also found some strange symbols etched into the walls in various places. They look like they could be some kind of code, but we have no way of deciphering them. Day 3: We've started to notice some strange occurrences on the station. Doors opening and closing on their own, strange noises in the corridors. It's starting to get to everyone and morale is low. We've set up a schedule to try and keep ourselves busy and our minds off of the strangeness of the situation. We've also established a watch system to make sure we're always aware of our surroundings. Despite all this, we still have no idea what's going on or how we'll get out of here. Day 4: Today we found something that could be a clue. In one of the station's control rooms, we found a strange device with a holographic display. It seemed to be showing some kind of map, but it was too damaged to make out any details. We tried to repair it, but it was no use. It's like the device is trying to show us something, but we just can't understand it. We're starting to feel like we're being watched. It's hard to shake the feeling that we're not alone on this station. Day 5: We've come to the conclusion that we're not alone on the station. We've all been seeing strange things out of the corner of our eyes, and we've heard footsteps in the corridors when no one is there. We've started to see patterns in the strange occurrences on the station. It's almost like someone or something is trying to communicate with us, but we can't figure out how. We're starting to get desperate. We need to find a way out of here before it's too late. Day 6: We had a breakthrough today. One of the crew members, who is an expert in ancient languages, was able to decipher some of the symbols we found etched on the walls. They seem to be some kind of warning or message, but we're not sure what it means. We've also noticed that the strange occurrences on the station are becoming more frequent and more intense. It's like whatever is trying to communicate with us is getting frustrated that we can't understand. We're starting to feel like we're running out of time. (it only generated 6 days)

    This is better than the plot of Lost.

      this is great, I'm narrating my kid stories of a cat off a set of kid books but now I can inject the settings and a scope for a story, add "as a kid story" and the output comes out well formed and ready for evening sleep stories. I can have a different story, every day, for as long as she will care to listen.

        I've heard of a few other people doing this sort of thing. I have some reservations about the practice. Stories passed from parents to children are our birthright. Forget art, this is a fundamental form of communication of values, ideas, and meaning-all of which are absent or only present by accident in GPT's output. What are you teaching your kid about her value by offloading this task to a machine? How will you answer questions about what the stories mean? Will the fact that they don't mean anything discourage her from asking questions about the things she hears?

        she's 2 she need a voice to cradle to, not a bedtime philosopher. there will be a time for aesophus and friends, but even then, oftentimes a story can be just silly and fun, it gets old real quick if every story comes with a canned morality statement.

      Any utility bill is better than the plot of Lost. And no, I'm not making a statement about utility bills. ;)
