Thank you Greg. Great post, great test use case. I was playing with Sora 2 last night and had a real moment of existential dread unlike any I've had so far.
Great post, Greg. I had a strange experience where I asked an LLM for the first time to help me get through a narrative writing block…and I really liked some of the ideas it had. They served my story, but you could argue they were pretty consequential elements. If offered by a human collaborator, it wouldn’t have seemed like a problem to me. But in this case, it feels disruptive to what I had understood creativity and self expression to be. Hoo boy. Makes me scared to dive in further.
Was it ChatPGT you used for your wriitng? Curious how much context you gave it (ie - did you share what you had of the story so far before asking it questions)? Yeah, interesting point about a useful element coming from a friend/collaborator vs. an LLM. It definitely starts changing what "creating or self-expression is (and also highlights how we don't create in a vacuum).
My vote would be to keep experimenting with curiosity and skepticism, see what it can and can't do. Best that us creatives get into it so we can have the important conversations for how to use it in our work.
Yes it was ChatGPT. I gave it a small paragraph with a kernel of the characters, plot, and some goals for the theme and tone. I was most surprised by some ideas it had for achieving a surreal logic for the plot, which I had thought was a nuanced target to hit, and that it wouldn’t “get it.”
Hey, I found this post really interesting. I have this space that I’ve developed called tagtwists.com and I want to show you how as a community we’re creating movies and stories together

Yes, it's getting us into a weird area for sure...

I think you make a good point.
