asking an AI to write its own writing prompts
Do you ever wish you could just, like … outsource inspiration for plots and characters to a machine? Now, with OpenAI’s advances in text-generating artificial intelligence, and free-to-use sandboxes like TextSynth and InferKit you can - and the prompts it gives you are truly off the wall.
1. clever sarcastic remarks I should never have made 2. finding the right gift for mom 3. true love’s first fart 4. being extremely disappointed by a decision you took for the sake of fulfilling the future of your family 5. a story about a wise man’s grave
Dying Vampire Lord In A Wheelchair & Enigmatic Magician & Cigar Smuggler
1. the impotent rage of the lamplighters 2. wistfulness for the 90’s as a time to be alive 3. occult food preparation 4. when to keep your mouth shut 5. adolescent eternity
Decorated Admiral & Fugitive Love Interest
I built two generators, one for story prompts (with over 3300 items) and one for characters (with over 1600 individual characters). Since each generator selects multiple items at once, each of them has literal millions of unique combinations for you to look through.
By default, these generators are safe-for-work, but both allow you to optionally enable Tumblr-disapproved content.
Mix-and-match, reinterpret, and skip prompts as much as you want - it’s all about what inspires YOU. Check them out at the links below!
