Summary
Use AI to craft bedtime stories, customized to each child, infinite stories, constantly building on the previous episode, with the parent's chosen 'moral of the story' into each episode, and/or suggest ones as you go.
Usefulness: Practical/Productive
Techniques
- I built a free ‘custom GPT’ (you can use mine, just follow the link here: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-Dram4y9dT-custom-episodic-bedtime-stories )
Discoveries
- Story-telling: good
- Works for adults as well as children – the AI doesn’t care, happily invents stories around your interests
- Injecting emotional journey into each story: AI did poorly out of the box, so I had to improve it
- I had to do quite a lot of fine-tuning here; ChatGPT-4’s initial attempts were heavy-handed and wouldn’t convince any reader – the parent would have to do a lot of ‘glue work’ to smooth-over the sudden jumps / leaps of narrative.
