Rather than keep on playing with generative AI tools, I thought I'd take a hint from ChatGPT and just write. Of course, there are robots behind the human appearance who churn out the text, not actual humans burdened with writers' blocks' and endless deliberations on how to execute a story, a scene, a dialogue, a statement. Still, I admire the ease of ChatGPT's writings. It makes it seem so effortless. Couple of lines of dialogue to outline the gist of the story and that's it, move on to the next scene. Maybe that robs the work of the richness of the details, but it does keep the story moving, so that's what I tried in this little piece.
Is it more fun to write the story yourself, rather than feed prompts into the machine and wait excitedly for the output? Is it more rewarding to put in the work yourself, even though the robots could get you five different stories in the same time? I don't know. I guess that's what it felt like at that moment. Maybe that's the future, do for the sake of doing, knowing that the result won't stand a chance competing with the state of art. We still have chess competitions for humans, after all.
