writing Character Generation via ChatGPT
BabySofia posted a topic in Critiques and Writer's Discussion
Over the past month I've been playing around with ChatGPT a bit trying to see where it can be useful or not. I know some have tried to get it to write stories... personally I haven't been that impressed by that use. (Though I suspect in a generation or two more that will probably improve!) One thing I have been find it incredibly useful for is generating names and personality traits. I have typically spent a ton of time using random name lists, baby name lists, etc. trying to come up with character names. Today I used "Generate 50 fictional girls first and last names based on popular US baby names in 2022" to come up with 50 names that I chose from for some what I consider to be minor characters in the book. I needed 3 girls, and then 7 guy names, so I did with both and was able to select some decent ones and have put the others aside for when I need them next. (A LOT less time!) I typically do a lot of general sketch info - even for minor characters. So I used this prompt next: "Generate a list of 11 students labeled student 1 to student 11 with a selection of the following values for each: Year (either Junior or Senior), Major (Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Portal Physics, Physics, or Mathematics), and height (Values from 9' tall to 12'3")" It did exactly what I needed it to do without any other effort. With the names selected, and these traits selected, I copied into Excel and then into the table in my word document in an amazingly short amount of time. I fully plan to keep experimenting with some of these tasks that I normally go through randomly to see what I come up with. I just wanted to share this with the community in case anyone else spends way too much time on this task. Anyone have other uses they've come up with for it with writing?
