Content Creator's New Best Friend: ChatGPT
Write movie & TV scripts in hours instead of days. OpenAI's new ChatGPT is extremely powerful.
Despite being in early development, ChatGPT is already proving to be a groundbreaking technology for content creators and media professionals. It’s the first time I’ve been able to truly collaborate with an artificial intelligence.
This week OpenAI launched ChatGPT as a free public preview. It’s a new cutting-edge AI from that allows users to interact and collaborate in a conversational manner. In contrast to other AI writing tools based on GPT-3, which often require complex prompt engineering to understand my intentions, ChatGPT is able to understand what I want to create by using conversation and natural language. It is still being refined and improved, yet I was immediately impressed with its ability to generate creative content and integrate feedback.
You can ask ChatGPT to generate new ideas, concepts, characters, or completely original stories or scripts. By collaborating with ChatGPT in a conversational format, it’s possible to quickly explore different creative directions. When I asked it to write a comedic TV show script, it quickly generated a funny scene with interesting dialogue. It even knows how to use correct script formatting, making it easy for me to read and evaluate.
Whether it's bouncing ideas off of a colleague, or taking turns writing with a co-author, having someone (or something?) to collaborate with can be incredibly valuable. With AI on our side, we can now have a digital equivalent of a human collaborator to help us throughout the creative process.
One of the standout features of ChatGPT is its ability to remember the conversation and the context of my responses. This means that when I ask it to rewrite a scene or add notes and suggestions it can integrate my feedback seamlessly. Gone are the days of clunky, robotic AI!
While there's no doubt that this technology still has a lot of room for improvement, the potential for disruption across creative industries is enormous. As a media professional, I am already preparing for a future where all creative work is done in collaboration with generative AI.
I highly recommend giving ChatGPT a try while OpenAI still has a free preview available. It might help you unleash your creativity and productivity!
