#Insomnia gives you the opportunity to some incredibly crazy things sometimes.

For example, over the past several days I have been experimenting with #ChatGPT. More because I was bored nothing more. And I wanted to see how good some of these newer models were with #writing. #Fiction.

Now, I #write. Fiction. #ScienceFiction mainly. Although I've dabbled into other more mainstream fiction #genres too except fantasy & horror. Other than #Grammarly and #ProWritingAid I've never really used #AI for anything other than to help me sound less snarky when replying to Reddit comments. A look through my history here and you can see just how unfiltered I am about topics I care passionately and deeply about.

But I've never used AI to actually *#write* a #story, from start to finish. At least not until now.

And since I'm usually a *#pantser* when I write, I just started with a simple #prompt and a simple #premise.

And holy fuck. Holy-holy fuck.

I mean, the AI didn't write it all by itself. I had to prompt it, guide it. Even fix some glaring and stupid mistakes (AI really has no cognitive understanding of the real world right now.)

And of the 40,000+ words it's written just about every single paragraph needs to be #edited. Heavily in places too. The overuse of #em-dashes is real y'all. I use em-dashes, but I don't use them in every fucking paragraph!

But the foundation is there.

The premise is unique. The story is unique. The characters are unique. And they have a depth to them that frankly has blown my mind.

I am both incredibly excited and very scared for what comes next but only a fool would take something AI has created and #publish it without #editing whether it's a Reddit comment, an Email, a social network post, or a tome.
