Revisiting Generative AI and Writing

#chatgpt #generativeart #ai #writing #creativewriting #writingtips
Today, I revisit a topic I covered last year. Since then, the AI systems have changed, the discussion around them has shifted, and my opinion... Well, it's a more refined version of what I already believed.

I feel called out, I used the image generator..😮‍💨, it's helping me keep track of my character's

Lmao, you’re fine. I’m not trying to say you can’t use them at all. I was just complaining about the megatons of AI generated stuff being dumped online from people trying to get money or popularity through it.

@@KlulessKitsune I completely do agree, the AI game add and so on are tearable

[@KlulessKitsune]

They really are. It’s just so exhausting to have to deal with AI stuff being forced on me all the time.

@@KlulessKitsune is their a better method for the layout of created character's, I'm finding it hard to keep track, I know your last videos on it, was just a check list, but is that all I should be using

[@KlulessKitsune]

The creation process itself is relatively loose. Basically, as long as the necessary parts of the character are there, it should be fine. The “character check” I made is mostly for retroactively making sure those particular parts are there, because without them, the story probably won’t function.
I can’t really say there is a definitive layout to writing every single feature of a character. I’ve seen some thorough character sheets, but I always hesitate to recommend them because they tend to make character development a box ticking exercise, which can have its own set of issues further along the writing process.
I think the main thing to remember is that a reader of a story does not have the sheets for the character next to them for reference. You pick the traits you need the character to have, but it’s more about writing scenes that display those traits once you know what they should be. In other words, the story itself lays out the character, and any notes are for your own organization and memory.
