I have to run to a meeting now, but let me know if you'd like me to put together a Notion document for this one.

[@silversurfer4195]

Excellent overview. Yes, please. I love your documents!

[@jennab176]

Yes from me as well!

[@kamillastarr]

How do I access all of the prompts you used

[@ByteSizedBooksmith]

I ran out of time to create the Notion document today, but I'll try to get it done first thing tomorrow. Thanks!!

[@ligugei]

Thanks for sharing. Its very informative. It would be lovely to have a notion file ❤

[@jmartense]

Super informative!

[@basicguy5785]

It can, but it's really difficult to prevent it from writing purple/flowery prose. Personally I had to create two prompts 1. Tell it what to write 2. Tell it to rephrase and remove specific styles of writing in the process

[@ByteSizedBooksmith]

I totally agree with you. I'm working on a method to limit the AI-isms in Claude's responses by making some tweaks to the beat completion prompts and using something in Codex, but I'm not quite ready to share it just yet.

[@thescriptdiva]

I'm learning so much watching your videos!! I will look forward to seeing how you made the tweaks to the beat prompts for sure!@@ByteSizedBooksmith

[@InThisStyleGMinor]

I love it completely removes the creative process from writing! Very informative!

[@thescriptdiva]

Thank you so much for putting together this vid--very useful for a newbie. I wondered if you ever got the prompts from Mira Gold to work correctly in novel crafter with Claude? I was really wanting to get them and try, but if they aren't working I'm not sure I have the skills yet to understand how to adjust them properly. I am so glad to have found your channel and looking forward to following you and learning. Thank you again.

[@ByteSizedBooksmith]

I reached out to Mira Gold and she gave me the following fix: Add the part in parenthesis below to your prompt. "Write out the following story concept synopsis (fill in all bracketed information with real-time story content). Please generate in a NON-JSON format:"

[@thescriptdiva]

@@ByteSizedBooksmith Thanks for your follow up on this question---I'll have to give Mira's stuff a try :)

[@ByteSizedBooksmith]

@@thescriptdiva The videos from AI Writers Connection are a great resource too!

[@studiophantomanimation]

I'm much more interested in AI for editing. It should be very helpful when you can post a whole book to it

[@ByteSizedBooksmith]

How about we start with a video and work our way up to a book?

[@studiophantomanimation]

@@ByteSizedBooksmith Sounds good

[@Ihearyou642]

Can you talk more about Kindle Spy and Insights?

[@ByteSizedBooksmith]

Sure thing, I can add it to the list. I also covered them in a little more detail in this video if you haven't already seen it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6u8gmh_qdCVmpY

[@markwaynemcginnis2461]

Hmm, I seem to be getting a 500-word cut-off limit in Novelcrafter using Claude 3 Opus - is that typical? thx...

[@ByteSizedBooksmith]

Howdy! Are you using it for a beat or in chat?

[@markwaynemcginnis2461]

@@ByteSizedBooksmith Howdy Back! Yeah, I tried it with a beat first and it kept giving me a short (kinda crappily written) scene. I tried it in chat but it didn't seem to be referring to the Codex all that well. I'm new to NC. Using it mostly for the cool codex aspects. As a SciFi author, it gets crazy tuff keeping track of all those aliens, and spaceships... :-) Well-aware AI's offer limited text responses, but Anthropic usually is better about that...

[@ByteSizedBooksmith]

@@markwaynemcginnis2461 I feel you on SciFi. Here are my first few thoughts, considering I can't see what you're doing... 1) Are you referencing anything in the Codex from your scene beat? 2) How long is your scene beat? 3) What is your "Max Tokens" setting for Opus (under Prompts > Scene Beat Completion)? 4) If referencing the Codex and strengthening your first beat doesn't help, try writing your first two beats the old-fashioned way (gasp! I know) and see if it continues with the third beat in your style.

[@markwaynemcginnis2461]

Great suggestions! My Opus was set at 4000 which (I think) is pretty large. But I did just discover that when writing a 'scene beat' the description I put in counts as tokens too -- yikes - I'd put in a super long and detailed bunch of text there - so I'm guessing that's my problem.

[@ByteSizedBooksmith]

@markwaynemcginnis2461 Gotcha. That might be it. My recommendation would be to test any changes in Sonnet until you're happy with the output there. Then try Opus again. And it keeps giving you a hard time, tag me in the Novelcrafter Discord and we can start a thread to hash it out!

[@Trendilien69]

Hello. I was testing Claude 3 opus, it is very smart, I gave him a fanfiction story called “the crown of summer court” anyway it is an amazing story that is also mature and has a gay sex scene, he analyses it all and liked the story very much, I started a dialog with him where I explained I was an adult and consented to this type of material, I explained it is ok in my country and harmless sex, he first said he could only write a story up to R rating but after I explained all that he understood thanked me and changed stances to NC17 rating, then I asked him to write a gay sex scene from the story and he did ! He actually described a very passionate sex scene full of emotion and character. I am impressed.

[@ByteSizedBooksmith]

That's fantastic! Thank you for sharing your process.

[@cagnazzo82]

You can get away with that? They must have really relaxed restraints.

[@ByteSizedBooksmith]

@@cagnazzo82 I know several folks who have been able to get more graphic violence out of it, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

[@Kutsushita_yukino]

yeah you can. just need to build it up. i use claude 3 in perplexity but it’s been inconvenient because i can’t edit the bots reponse. if they had a feature like that you can literally do anything with it

[@ByteSizedBooksmith]

@@Kutsushita_yukino I tried to use it in the Anthropic API Console and that was a nightmare!

[@HardKillaz]

No need to overthink it Opus is better, way better.

[@spydergs07]

I've really enjoyed Opus the last few days.

[@truthwillout2371]

Well it certainly won't tell you any truth.

[@ByteSizedBooksmith]

Well, it's a good thing we're writing fiction.

[@thehappyyoyo]

The content it produced is dull... overwritten, purple prose. Typical of AI. Claude 2.0 still better than this, but as always - hours of human rewriting/editing to get finished text.

[@ByteSizedBooksmith]

I did my National Novel Writing Month project in Claude 2. It definitely has a special place in my heart.

[@spydergs07]

I've actually really liked Claude 3 Opus the last few days. It's been putting out well written text.
