Storytelling with ChatGPT

Summary

How can AI help you tell a story?

This workshop explores how ChatGPT can help you write better stories and improve communications within your team. You’ll learn where AI works (and where it doesn’t), and how to become a successful “prompt engineer” at three different levels of the storytelling process: brainstorming, development, and iteration. You’ll leave the workshop with a new tool to enhance your creativity, generate innovative story ideas, and incorporate user feedback to refine your stories. Through directed exercises and collaborative learning, this workshop can be customized to any level of ChatGPT practitioner, offering a hands-on experience with live-action AI-assisted writing practice and immediate feedback.
