Anyone else using ChatGPT to assist with world building?
Basically title. I've found it's a very useful tool that is only as good as how you use it. Of course I've run into some issues with it trying to impose certain ideals on my stories (like claiming there are "core values and themes" in the Pokémon world when in reality it's no different than our world), but aside from these little hiccups I've been in the process of building new stories from already existing universes (i.e. Naruto, Pokémon, Persona).
I'd like to hear if anyone else has been doing the same, or if they have any tips for using ChatGPT as well.
What does ChatGPT claim these values and themes are?
"Friendship, unity, empathy, and the genuine connections between trainers and Pokémon"
Like yeah we know the general philosophy behind the games but we got:
- a war that happened that was referenced all the way back in Gen 1
- crime organizations (Team Rocket)
- environmental terrorists (Team Aqua/Magma)
- climate change (the Pokémon Cursola is an actual example)
- Pokémon kidnappers (honestly probably all of the antagonists)
- more terrorists (Team Plasma)
- planned genocide (Team Flare)
The world is a lot more complicated than everyone thinking about friendship and unity and a bunch of idealist nonsense, and the games show examples of that even if some of them aren't clear, like the fact that it's obviously a capitalist world, so all the contradictions that come with it are going to exist as well.
