I saw Generative AI for Beginners from Microsoft on GitHub. I’ve looked at https://fmhy.pages.dev/ai but I’m not sure what I’m really looking for.

I write fiction, and I want a chatbot that will function like chat gpt3.5, but not shut down if things get bloody or sexy, as they so often do.

You know ready, aim, fire? I’m in the AIM stage.

    What does too much involvement mean? As someone looking to get into this myself I’m curious about your experience.

      The two things that stand out to me are

      1. Creating backstories, characterizations, etc etc etc. All that stuff they tell you to do in novel writing class that sometimes you might do, or if you’re me you don’t.

      2. The AI likes to just start writing narratively, taking on the job of crafting words. That’s not what I’M looking for. I want a sounding board to bounce ideas off, suggest alternative directions, possible motives, help me brainstorm.

      Point two has always been a problem for me, because they tell me I’m autistic. All I know is I have some coping mechanisms I’ve had to use over the years. It wasn’t really a thing when I was a kid. But I don’t see alternatives very well. So having an outside entity suggest things that hadn’t occurred to me gives me more choice in plot lines and decision points. I write ok alone. But I’m excited to see what ai can help me do.
