I tried chatgpt to help me figure out a scene. It helped me break out of a slump so it was worth it. I couldn’t use anything exactly how it came out from the bot but it gave me some ideas.
An interesting use for this tool is that it is ideal for pointing out cliches. Because that’s what it does, isn’t it? It tries to mimic what’s been written before and so it will mimic the majority of what it finds.
And so I read what it wrote me and had a major eye roll at the cliches but then I noticed… I use a couple of them.
It helps point out what you might not notice otherwise.
Here are a few examples for your reading pleasure. It’s actually not too bad.
Summary
Kamiccola#6312: write me a scene of a psychic medium capturing a ghost into a glass jar. Hemingway style.
AI(chatgpt): The psychic medium stood before the ghost, her eyes fixed and intense. She could feel the specter’s presence, its energy pulsating through the air. She extended her hand, fingers outstretched, beckoning the ghost to her.
With a sudden burst of movement, the ghost rushed towards her, desperation etched into its gossamer features. The psychic medium remained motionless, focused solely on her task.
As the ghost approached, the medium produced a glass jar from beneath her cloak. With a quick flick of her wrist, she released a spell, a burst of shimmering light that encircled the ghost.
The ghost writhed and screamed as the spell tightened around it, struggling to break free. But the medium was steadfast. She calmly reached out with her hand and captured the ghost within the jar.
For a moment, there was silence. Then, in a flash of light, the ghost was gone. The medium smiled, a sense of satisfaction washing over her.
In the stillness that followed, she pondered the possibilities the captured ghost could bring. She had a feeling that it would not be the last time their paths would cross.

Kamiccola#6312: write me a scene of a ghost being captured by magic into a glass jar. Writing style of John Green.
AI(chatgpt): The ghost hung suspended in the air, flickering and wailing, its agony echoing off the walls. The young magician stood before it, her hands outstretched, her lips moving in a silent incantation. Her hair was disheveled and her eyes were bright with determination.
The ghost writhed as the energy of the spell flowed around it, its anger and despair whipped up into a frenzy. But the magician held steady, channeling the power of the universe into the spell.
Slowly, the ghost began to glow, its energies coalescing into a single point of light. The magician took a deep breath, her heart pounding in her chest, and reached out her hand, grasping the ghost within her palm.
With a sudden flash of light, the ghost was gone, captured within the glass jar that was clasped firmly in the magician’s hand. She gazed at it for a moment, a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips, before slipping the jar into the pocket of her jacket.
As she turned to leave, she stole one last glance at the spot where the ghost had been, now empty and silent. It had been a difficult capture, but one that had been worth it. For now, she knew that she had a powerful ally in the struggle against the forces of darkness that sought to consume the world.

Kamiccola#6312: write me a scene of a ghost being captured by magic into a glass jar. Writing style of Johnathan Stroud. Feelings of empty triumph.
AI(chatgpt): The ghost flickered and sputtered, its frustration palpable. It had been vanquished before, but this time it could sense that something was different. The young wizard standing before it had a power that it could not comprehend, a raw magic that surged in waves around him.
The wizard began to chant, his voice rising in a crescendo that echoed off the walls. The ghost writhed and howled, but the wizard continued on, his incantation growing stronger with each passing breath.
Suddenly, a beam of pure energy shot from the wizard’s wand, striking the ghost and imprisoning it within a gleaming glass jar. The ghost wailed and twisted, but the jar held fast, trapping its essence within.
The wizard surveyed his handiwork with a smug grin, his victory hollow and empty. He had captured the ghost, yes, but in doing so he had also robbed it of its last vestiges of life. The wizard could feel the ghost’s pain and despair, echoing within the confines of the jar.
As he pocketed the jar, the wizard’s triumph was tempered by a sense of guilt. He had wielded his magic with ruthless precision, but at what cost? The ghost may have been defeated, but the price had been steep.
He turned to leave, weighed down by the weight of his own actions. The victory was his, but it was not one to be celebrated. He knew that he would carry the weight of his
