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.

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
