Original question by @0_0j@lemmy.world
This might seem as counter intuitive, as there are folks that hijack ideas for a living, But hey, F*IT; lets hear your craziest plots you can concoct. We'll be the judge of them.
I'm down for a good laugh.

Instead of making remakes of everything forever, they should use the Miyazaki way for writing scenarios. You take random words and make a story, like:
It's a raccoon that lives in a shed, he meets a magical butterfly, and they both fight against the evil dictator who happens to be a horse that enslaved magical cardboard boxes.
Boom, $millions!
please, let the word see that movie
This is definitely where AI can come in handy. Continuously pluck a few words from wikipedia and tell the AI to come up with a few plot lines, then go from there.
Or just use your own creativity if you have it, and don't if you don't.
Why are people so afraid of AI?
Humans have patterns and that is why they can be recognised by them. Authors have a certain writing style, their book are often about very similar things, musicians sing and act in a specific manner that makes the recognisable and few are able to truly reinvent themselves or their style. Is that a "lack of creativity"? Are they just inferior beings unable to break out of their bubble?
AI is a tool. It can be used for good, bad and everything in between. If you see it as something one should fear, loathe, or despise, that requires a meme quip as a kneejerk reaction to anybody mentioning it positively, maybe use your own reasoning to come with a thoughtful answer, or if you can't then maybe don't.
Not afraid of AI, just what it produces is invariably shit.
Not afraid of AI. Contemptuous of its use for creative tasks though.
It's ok, as a human, not to have the ability to be creative. And nobody has the right to that ability either, it's just the way it is.
Using a machine to mimic (or rip off) the efforts of genuinely creative people does not make the person using the AI creative.
I did some short storys like mentioned (maybe like 2 pages long) and it really would have slowed me down to ask an ai
Also it mas way simpler to just ask another person for a random word or come up with one myself
I mean you could expect the spanish inquisition but the sudden appereance of a broom could be way more shocking
For me emotionally it also was better to get the random words without ai because else i would have thought that part of the story is fabricated and that is not what i want
There must be a misunderstanding. I'm not saying "AI should write the short story". AI can act as the spark and you can provide the material to make the fire.
Sorry that its so long, if you dont want to read it please dont make a summary out of it and instead ignore it
I dont mean that ai writes the story, i meant that ai is not the best way to get input/sparks
AI in that case is an over the top solution for something that already has (in my perspective) better solutions
Want a random word/concept: look at urbandictionary/wikipedia/??? and press a buttot with "random" on it
Costs even less energy/precious ressources and it from the web
Want a random word from another entity: ask another person, if you dont have friends you could ask passerbys nicely (thats then a random but likely pleasant encounter for them) or if you stay at home ask some forum
Want to have it instanhly: think yourself, faster than anything, asking an ai would probably take enough time to come up with something yourself
I personally would not like an ai to get the easy and enjoyable job making the sparks.
If i use any other way i would me happy to continue the story but getting answers from an ai would feel wrong, taking the fun out of writing and making me finish early, stopping halfway or not even starting.
I want to express myself and not the ideas of something i cant relate to
I dont know how better do describe it
Was the sass really necessary? 🙄
The way you answer: no, which i am happy about
Explaination (not excuse):
thinking about ai makes me grumpy and your suggestion of delegating a simple task to ai sparked the idea that you could also delegate the task of reading and comprehension to an ai
And at least in this case: i am wrong
