As someone who’s been prompted every other night over the last couple of years for a fresh made-up story with an ever-changing cast of dinosaurs, superheroes and aliens by my five year old (who complains if the story arc isn’t to his liking) I’ve been very grateful for a few ChatGPT synopses recently!

On the other hand, I wouldn’t want to just leave him to it without me editing/steering the story as I tell it.

Something like “give me 3 different story ideas with these characters suitable for a five year old” followed by “i like number 3, please expand but make the dragon good instead of bad” has been pretty impressive, and is a relief when I’m out of ideas. Coming up with 180 meaningful improvised stories each year is a tall order!

That which you are practicing is supervised use of non-deterministic AI, where the latter is a tool - not the suggested "self-driving storyteller, you can now sleep at the wheel".
