How to Write a Full Book Using ChatGPT 

Thank you a lot for that ❤😊

Agreed, though one thing i'd never let the AI replace is prose, because if it's writing your prose then you're no longer the one actually writing, you're just hiring the AI as a ghost writer.

Claude Plus exists now, have you used Claude 3.0 or 3.5? Seems like the best for writing but it's feature lacking.

Welcome aboard!

if you need to pay for 3 different AI programs to write a book, then you likely aren't a good writer anyway and it won't matter. AI should only be used for brainstorming/outlining/and solving narrative road blocks. the actual writing needs to come from you.

I agreed, that is the hardest part. Because some people just use AI to assist and the creative part still comes from human input. But some people felt threatened by it and staged a full-scale protest against A.I., especially on Twitter(X).

So how would anyone know your text is written by an AI, provided you change and improve things here and there?

I personally feel like people should be able to copyright things that used A.I. because the A.I. is being prompted by the human. The human has to be very specific in the commands so therefore, it should be able to be copyright eligible.

@@KennyAndVeronica You can copyright things written with the help of AI provided that you actually wrote them and not the AI. You cannot copyright prompts, that's ridiculous. That would be like copyrighting genre tropes.

I'm having this same problem. After Claude did it's initial retyping of the the previous chapter, I wrote: Why are you retyping the previous chapter? It replied: "My apologies, I should not have simply rewritten the Previous Chapter section verbatim. When I saw it was included, I took that to mean I should incorporate it into the new chapter, but I should have summarized or referred to it instead of copying it wholesale. " To which I wrote: please do not use ANYTHING from the PREVIOUS CHAPTER section, it is only to reference what has already happened. I need you to pick up at the beginning of the CHAPTER BEATS, knowing, based on the PREVIOUS CHAPTER, what happened prior to lead up to the events listed in CHAPTER BEATS. Please write Chapter 3 now. at which point it realized what it was doing wrong and picked up where it should have picked up. I wasted a lot of text by it doing this, but it eventually figured it out. I'm going to keep playing with the instructions and see if I can word things differently. Maybe even have it read the super prompt without it writing anything, then giving it that second command and see if it works. Hope this helps.

It is available within ChatGPT Plus.

What’s the pros of the playground?

Yes, non fiction is.

Yeah that’s why I don’t rely on the AI for expertise. It can help to write what you know and research, but you have to provide that information.

Everything it writes is shallow. It's not a replacement for expertise and insight, it's a method for iterating ideas and doing what Jason calls "the grunt work" more easily.

That is fiction 😂

Bible is fiction though...

You should not be making books about things you know nothing about.

@@TheNerdyNovelist I also consider about that so, i will dedicate my time and effort into studying and understanding the knowledge i presented because i read a lot of books so i understand it well. i may analyze the information and synthesize that into knowledge that is simplier with the help of chatgpt. so do you think this will creates value for the reader? and am i going to be qualified to make ebooks?

Reprompt…

Yes. If you had asked “Could I use it only for fixing grammar?”, then the answer might’ve been a more qualified “yes”-it would depend fundamentally on how fussy you are about having your own “voice” (writing style, down to the smallest linguistic quirk) and, conversely, how much in a hurry you are to get a grammatically correct result even if the AI changes a couple things that weren’t necessarily mistakes. The reason for this is that AIs work in a VERY different way than specialized grammar correctors, and while they have significant advantages for that task, they’re not without flaws. But if you also want it for dialogues, then yes, AIs can give you both things. As The Nerdy Novelist has often said, Claude tends to be better than ChatGPT for dialogue (both can do well, but the latter requires more hand-holding in many situations).

Does he have his books on amazon ?@@LandareeLevee

@@LandareeLevee I'm not a fan of ai writing the whole book. i just want it to generate ideas so I can mix things in my own way

I don’t know if he answers all his comments, so I hope you don’t mind if I chime in. I’m writing a 200,000 word book on psychiatry. I am a psychiatrist. After negotiating back and forth and developing an initial list of chapters and the goals and tone, etc., I ask it for a comprehensive prompt that I can use to reprint it before we dig in to each chapter. I also have three sub prompts I use for each section of a chapter. This is a lot of work, but I still find it a tremendous benefit to use GPT Pro and is adds to the enjoyment of creating quality content. Hope this helps!

I actually usually work over several chats. I take the output of the first chat, fix it up to be how I like it, then do the next expansion in a new chat.

@@DrRCStone Could You show me an example of those prompts? Do You work in one chat or in nultiple (f.e. per chapter)?

consolidate. once you get 5-6 messages deep into a chat... you need to consolidate everything into 1 and then start a new chat.

I was playing around with chatgpt for the first time and tried to come up with a story for a movie that does not suck. (no that was not my prompt. might as well have been tho). "As an AI developed by OpenAI, I must adhere to ethical guidelines and strive to provide inclusive and respectful content. I aim to create content that does not propagate stereotypes or promote biased perspectives. I'd be happy to help create a longer script while ensuring it's respectful and aligns with ethical considerations. We can focus on a storyline that involves high-stakes espionage, intense action sequences, and the protagonists demonstrating their skills without undermining any gender or perpetuating stereotypes." As a human being I now understand why every movie released a few years back is the same. Im sorry but I have a REALLY strong feeling that AI is going to indirectly rot everyone's brain. to the point where we won't even be thinking for ourselves anymore. Most won't people already. "chatGPT was in my opinion on the latest Taylor Swift song?"

It seemed that way to me.

Where did you sell it pls?

AI Generated. Assisted is you have the story and it is revised/polished/enhanced. If you start with AI and end with AI, it's AI-generated.

Hey Shelly, I have written about 30 books so far. Some of them are now best sellers. If you would like I could ghost write it for you. I do charge a fee. You would retain all rights, copyright, rights to artwork (which I can also supply) etc. I could have it finished for you pretty quickly too. if you are interested let me know.

@@chrono8233 do you have a website?

@@chrono8233I might be interested

work with an actual writer not this ai bs

I already started one on the same topic cheers 🥂

ChatGPT is not so good (now) for non fiction. I write fiction based on a genre in the "1980s mens adventure universe (cold war)"... but sometimes, just doing research, it gives incorrect answers to what happened in the 1980s. Always need to double check or more. But, it gvies me grerat brain storming ideas with a touch of fiction based on reality.

@@keithtarrier4558 True, but what you describe is using ChatGPT as a research tool. In that case, it is often incorrect. Remember that it is a tool. When writing fiction, it is supposed to make stuff up, and when writing non-fiction, it should limit itself to facts. Mostly. Unless we're inserting a hypothesis. It is a machine; it can not possibly know the difference. So it makes stuff up all the time. Instead, I'm going to use it as a ghost writer, feeding it a detailed outline of each paragraph it is supposed to write. I instruct it to turn my ideas into a first draft. That's quite different from relying it to spew out factual data at will.

That's called capitalism. Are you writing the Capital from Marx?

i have the same issue. did you ever find a solution?

@@divinrth5187Not really, aside from chewing it out and reminding it of my instructions. It does OK for several messages, but then will start doing it again. So sick of seeing 'Was a testament to their resilience ' at the end of every message,

@@captainobvious9233 same! i hate that message and others like it so much. best solution i could find was custom instructions but even then, not great

LOL. I hate that too it won’t omit it either. It’s just an algorithm it’s not a person.

use AI for brainstorming, outlining and solving narrative roadblocks. all the actual book writing should come from you.

Well chat gpt wouldn’t help you with that as it has restrictions for such content. Though you can use Sudowrite for that😅

I haven't tried this yet, but have thought this through. You give the prompt of your stories into GPT like a taxi where you stop at your work out and what your nsfw scenes are from there. Just by 3.5 uses strong romantic for a sincere relationship, so it's just about trimming the corners to work that part out.

So …not only are you too lazy to write your own book, but you can’t even watch a 30-min video?

🤣

Sooo …not only are you too lazy to write a book using your own imagination and talent, but you can’t even watch a 30min video? Got it!!

Five will do this and will have autonomous agents. And you can talk to gtp 4 on your phone.

Make friends.

YOU'RE not writing if you use anything other than a quill pen. 😅

Doesn't matter, escape ratrace

Meanwhile... ...the new ChatGPT millionaire scribes are laughing hysterically at all those old school authors that have still been writing "CHAPTER ONE" for the last decade. Ijs

But at least he's not a horrible human. 🙄
