Part 2/10:
The foundation of effective AI-generated fiction begins with concise, directive prompts. David emphasizes the importance of framing your instructions with imperative verbs such as "brainstorm", "imagine", or "generate". Instead of vague requests like "write a scene," specificity yields better results. For example, prompting GPT-3 with "Brainstorm a funny scene between Spider-Man and Mary Jane" results in more focused and relevant outputs.
He demonstrates giving GPT-3 a list of potential scene ideas—ranging from a café encounter to a park misadventure—and notes that the AI responds well to clear, directive instructions. This method allows you to generate multiple ideas quickly, which can then be refined or expanded upon.
