Dude, You clearly don't know what its purpose is and how to use it.
1. Stuck? Tell it to write 250 words to continue the story. Any more than that, it goes off the rails. Then hit redo about 10 times. I recommend turning off ChatGTP4.0 and using 3.5. It's WORSE. Which is the point. I love the whacky nonsense 3.5 comes up with. Don't do more than this. Maybe 500, but honestly, after three paragraphs, it's useless. However, if you want "WHACKY RANDOM", it gets the job done. Sometimes, random is just what you need to get the story going.
2. Feed it one paragraph at a time and say, "Rephrase Paragraph." Do not feed it MORE than that. Do not feed it LESS than 3 lines. Use ChatGPT 3.5. It will spit out some crazy shit. That's the point. When you are writing, the main problem is breaking out of your patterns. This thing isn't a human pattern. By Definition. You can get the same effect by having someone else go over what you wrote and rephrase it. This is like having a retarded friend be your editor. You will have to correct everything, but it WILL force you out of your comfort zone.
3. Rewrite dialogue - I've had mixed results, but you can tell it Rewrite the following dialogue as if the speaker was...
Example:
"A contest? That's awesome! What do you think, Toshi? Should we give it a try?"
Cowboy:
"A contest? Well, howdy, that's mighty excitin'! What do ya reckon, Toshi? Should we saddle up and give it a whirl?"
Japanese:
"A contest? That sounds incredible! What do you think, Toshi-san? Should we give it a try?"
16th century noble:
"A contest, you say? How splendid! What is your opinion, Toshi? Shall we partake in this endeavor?"
I haven't used this excessively, but don't your stories have a problem with EVERY CHARACTER sounding the same? Most writers have this problem. It's hard to write radically differently. We don't have that mindset and the problem is, keeping it straight. I gave up on the suffixes in my story set in Japan because I kept forgetting.
But if you write out some simple tags like: Rewrite like: A cowboy talking/90Year Old Man from Boston/Valley Girl then you can write a chapter, go back, then make sure the dialogue for each character is just different enough to be distinct.
As for: WRITE ME A STORY?
Don't.
Just Don't
I promise you, it will SUCK. The purpose of ChatGPT is to give you a THESAURUS and random Idea generator... KINDA. The random idea function sucks. I use it only when I know what I want to write, but I'm having a hard time writing it out. It gives you a useful framework, but you are going to have to rewrite it anyway for quality purposes, so it's best not to rely on it. At most, I've used the random idea generator twice. And By used I mean, found useful output.
Honestly, the random idea generator sucks. But... the 4.0 does seem marginally better for random ideas lately. This means, that if you are going to make a random idea, you need to do it first thing in the day, as you have a limit amount of 4.0 GTP useable each day, then it reverts to the 3.5 version... which is far more creative.
It's weird. 3 is more creative, and 4 is more consistent. Go fig.
Anyrate. It isn't the devil. It isn't a plot. Using it actually, COSTS the company that made it money because they operate at a LOSS. If you hate the company behind ChatGTP, then use it MORE so you can speed up their financial collapse.
PS, Give up on having it describe characters. It either borks the description, or it calls you racist.
No. I am not joking.
The young man in the image has short, neatly styled black hair. He has a fair complexion and an oval face with sharp, defined features. His eyes are dark and expressive, conveying a sense of thoughtfulness and determination. He is wearing a white hoodie with the hood down, layered under a black jacket that appears both stylish and functional. The jacket has a high collar and zippered front, adding a modern, urban touch to his appearance. His posture is relaxed yet confident, and he exudes a sense of calm amidst the bustling city around him.
