Why is this terrifying? The prompt gave it the scenario and every detail; ChatGPT did exactly what it was told. If anything, this is less creative than the leaf example.

> ChatGPT did exactly what it was told

Actually, I'd suggest it didn't. The prompt implies (but without explicitly stating) that she is the passenger (maybe even one of several) in the helicopter. You wouldn't say "in which only she survives" if she was alone. But the response has her piloting it, with no mention of others on board. I think this illustrates how ChatGPT doesn't really understand the text it is manipulating.

I employ a copywriter who can knock out 300 words on a range of subjects, to a very high standard, based on a similarly short prompt. I don't think she needs to worry just yet although I would suggest she doesn't think about upping her rates any time soon.

I've tried playing text adventure games with ChatGPT and it leans on certain tropes very heavily, especially if you don't give it a lot of "meat" to work with. It fills out scenes really well but if you don't give it strong direction and let it "drive" you get the text equivalent of unseasoned blended potato.

ChatGPT's response is good because this prompt has a lot of detail. You'd still need to hand hold it through the rest of this story if you want something interesting.

Bleak? This makes me extremely excited for the future.
