Is Claude good for writing KZbin scripts?

I wanted to ask if you are going do a step-by-step video of how to write a short story with AI because I have been struggling to find videos that talk about this in greater detail, and I like your method more. I have a limited reading and prose writing experience by the way because I found an interest in literature later in life.

While Jason's knowledge and experience are valuable, this video overcomplicates what has become a much simpler process in 2024. With advanced models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet, writers don't need multiple AI tools, complex "FITS formulas," or technical API understanding. Just one capable AI assistant and clear communication can produce excellent long-form content that only needs your creative review and editing. The "validation" and gradual building points are solid, but the rest feels like unnecessary complexity that might actually discourage writers from exploring AI as a writing tool. Sometimes less is more - especially when today's top AI models are this sophisticated.

Great introduction to using AI tools to write, so well done there. Today I used Chat GPT 4.o and Gemini 2.0. And I fed them both the exact same prompts: a city under siege in 8th c Spain surrounded by a Moorish army. I added other details such as main characters, plot etc and as you suggested, then asked them for a plan for a chapter outline. The results from Gemini were astounding. Much better than Chat GPT. I would be curious as to the spectrum of result from other LLM’s such as Claude 3.5 when given the exact same prompts.

Claude is frustrating to use. It's been giving me "prompt too long" messages for days now. Even if I only enter a single word. I made the mistake of subbing thinking that it might be some kind of restriction on the free model and I effectively wasted my money as the message continued and I have 2 weeks left of my sub not being able to use it all. It’s the holiday season so support is nonexistent. Can I use the ChatGPT free model in Novelcrafter? I would like to try it out before subbing to another ai model.

I use the $20 version of ChatGPT and a paid Sudowrite subscription. I use ChatGPT for brainstorming, outlining, beat creation, and prose writing. I then copy to Sudowrite and use the tools to expand the prose. It uses fewer credits on Sudowrite to edit and expand than to have it do the other stuff that ChatGPT does. I burned through a million credits on Sudowrite in just a few days and learned my lesson about having it do all the heavy lifting. I haven't run into any usage issues with ChatGPT. AI is a great tool for creativity and feedback.

Jason, have you tried the free AI that comes baked into the Brave web browser, the AI chatbot is called Leo and what I find appealing is that it is privacy focused, anonymous, and secure Leo’s Brave-hosted models don’t retain or share chats, or use them for additional model training. No account or login is required. Just open and chat. Privately.

Of the most recent Claude models at the time of writing this, Sonnet 3.5 is great for outlining, developmental editing, even very rough drafts, etc. It is very cerebral. While it can write, that prose will be fairly short and to the point, and it's going to feel cold and dry. It will produce great editorial reviews of your work. Opus 3 is the one you want to use for the final drafts to bring life to it all. This will initially produce a shortened form of what you ask for, but then you can tell it things like, that is what I want, now bring it to life, and it does. One level beyond that, for Romance, you can then say, that is great, can you heat up the love scene a notch. It is excellent at that without going cornigraphic (well, it might slightly). Opus 3 is a professional writer, Sonnet 3.5 is more like a professional code developer. They have very distinct personalities. I also use the most recent models of Gemini, but I mostly use it for research. Something about Gemini is not really geared for writing or even editing prose. It's not bad at getting a second opinion on reviews, though. I primarily use Scrivener for writing, formatting, and compiling. I recently finished a month-long review of both Sudowrite and Novelcrafter. These are for a particular kind of writer. I found these tools to be a time suck more than anything else. While they each have their strengths, I did not find any of those things more useful than just using an AI directly and Scrivener. If you are a brand-new writer or just have no experience with AI, then think these would be useful initially. They are quite good at putting a level of structure around your writing process. That structure was a bit too much structure for me, however.

After having worked in AI for close to 8 years (computer vision, machine learning etc), in my writing I don't believe AI is the soup to nuts solution, but, rather, another tool in my toolbelt. Storytelling is truly human endeavor and it has been since the days of living in caves. We went from typewriters, to computers, and now with AI we get another tool that helps us create even more amazing stories by getting feedback, iterating, getting ideas etc.

Do you publish? How? I’m curious. If you self publish do you consider yourself an author? Because you could use the same argument there. Self publishing is overly complicated: you have to write the book, find the editors, find the cover artist, publish, market your book and everything in between (all the steps I missed). And yet there are people who will say you’re not an author you’re not traditionally published. Writers can use tools. We use pen and paper, typewriters, word processors, ghost writers and now AI. And the beauty of AI is it can be used how we wish. Help us with the writing and then we refine it, and all the other steps, although editing is a weak spot.

Am I crazy to thinks this ? You don't talk about the copyright issues or the possibility of stealing your idea's, script or book. ChatGPT or other AI keep every idea, writing or prompt you put in. They own our work. SO... They can sell your work or ideas to other private companies without your consent. A pitch to convince Producers is only 60 seconds long, And that's where the industry goes to... AI. Maybe a video on that topic?

@ariesmarsexpress 2 күн бұрын

It's understandable to be concerned about your ideas, but the good news is that AI models like ChatGPT don't actually store your work in a way that could be stolen or resold. Here's how it works: these models use complex math to learn patterns in language. Think of it like learning grammar rules, not memorizing specific sentences. Your input helps the AI learn, but it doesn't keep a copy of your text. While it's true that many companies collect data online, that's a separate issue from how AI models function. But, that's a whole other conversation!

You have a valid concern about copyright. The AI companies do not own the work, but neither does the "author" since AI generated material is not eligible for copyright protection.

@@ariesmarsexpress You're a bit mistaken about how AI works. It does, in fact, store the original material in pieces. The New York TImes has demonstrated that two different AI systems have reproduced some of the NYT articles verbatim, thereby proving the phrases from its articles are stored within the LLMs. It is by storing phrases that AI is able to "predict" the most likely word(s) to complete a phrase. A randomizer is added to the algorithm to have AI select different phrases to avoid consistent output, thereby giving the illusion of intelligent design. AI is artificial but it is not intelligent.

@TheNerdyNovelist one. Self published and part of a uni project, so hardly an achievement. But I do have short stories in anthologies which contain actual professional writers, under established publishing houses. And I must have typed a few million words at this point writing stories in niche forums, some of them good enough to be recognized by writers far better than me. I have worn enough nibs and emptied enough ink bottles structuring stories and doing research, so experience I do not lack. I don't write much this days, though. I am committed to realism and plausibility, and it is exhausting to have to troll through useless AI slop in search of slivers of reliable data. But I am not willing to compromise in the quality of my research or my output. And no, I won't ask chatGPT for the data for my research. For one, the point of researching a topic is lost when you demand a readily made answer, and that's before considering the unreliability of AI. For another, AI generated text has a quality and feel not unlike sanding paper, without the literary merit one can find in the back of said sanding paper.
