Here I start ChatGPT with a basic story and then have it elaborate on it in stages.
Tell me a story about a hero.
Once upon a time, there was a young man named Jack who lived in a small village at the foot of a mountain. Jack was kind and brave, and he was always willing to help others in need.
One day, a ferocious dragon appeared in the village and began to terrorize the people, burning their homes and eating their livestock. The villagers were afraid and didn't know what to do, but Jack knew he had to help.
He climbed the mountain and found a magical sword hidden in a cave. With the sword in hand, Jack bravely confronted the dragon and after a fierce battle, he was able to slay the beast and save the village.
From that day forward, Jack was known throughout the land as the hero who defeated the dragon and protected the people. He continued to use his bravery and kindness to help others, and he lived a long and happy life, always remembered as a true hero.
Note that this story has only four paragraphs, unlike the basic Aurora story introduced on January 6, 2023 in ChatGPT, stories, and ring-composition. In this story paragraph three combines the Plan and Execute segments of the ‘standard’ story trajectory identified in A note about story grammars in ChatGPT and in ChatGPT intimates a tantalizing future; its core LLM is organized on multiple levels; and it has broken the idea of thinking (currently under revision for a third time).
Retell the Jack story, but have him find a magic pumpkin in the cave.
Once upon a time, there lived a young man named Jack who lived in a small village. He was known for his bravery and kind heart. One day, a dragon attacked the village and started burning down homes and injuring people. Jack, with his sword in hand, stood up against the dragon and fought with all his might. After a long and tough battle, Jack defeated the dragon and saved the village.
As a reward for his bravery, the villagers presented Jack with a map that led to a secret cave, said to contain a magical pumpkin with immense power. Jack, always up for an adventure, decided to find the pumpkin. After a treacherous journey, he finally arrived at the cave and discovered the magic pumpkin.
He realized that the pumpkin had the power to grant wishes and used it to wish for unlimited bravery and strength, making him the greatest hero the world had ever known. From then on, Jack used his newfound powers to go on many more daring adventures and help those in need, always remembered as the hero with the magic pumpkin.
Notice what ChatGPT did. It combined the first four segments of the story trajectory (Donné, Disturb, Plan, and Execute) in the first paragraph. The first sentence of the second paragraphs contains a much-truncated version of the Celebrate segment, and then Jack undertakes a new Execute segment. For the moment let’s think of the final paragraph as a modified Celebrate segment.
I leave it as an exercise to the reader to note what ChatGPT is doing in the next two versions.
Retell the Jack story, but have him Princess Aurora in the cave.
Once upon a time, there lived a young man named Jack who lived in a small village. Jack was known for his bravery and kind heart. One day, a dragon attacked the village and Jack decided to face it. As he entered the dragon's lair, he was surprised to find Princess Aurora, who had been taken by the dragon.
Jack knew he had to save the princess, but the dragon was not going to give her up easily. With bravery and determination, Jack fought the dragon and after a long and intense battle, he was able to defeat it and save the princess. Princess Aurora thanked Jack for his bravery and kindness, and the two of them returned to the village where the people cheered and hailed Jack as a hero.
From that day on, Jack went on to have many more adventures and helped many more people in need, always remembered as the brave young hero who rescued Princess Aurora from the dragon's lair.
Retell the Jack story, but have him meet Merlin while coming out of the cave.
Once upon a time, there lived a young man named Jack who lived in a small village. Jack was known for his bravery and kind heart. One day, a dragon attacked the village and Jack decided to face it. As he entered the dragon's lair, he fought a long and intense battle and was eventually able to defeat the dragon and save the village.
As Jack was coming out of the cave, he stumbled upon a wise old wizard named Merlin. Merlin was impressed by Jack's bravery and offered to teach him the ways of magic. Jack was eager to learn and spent many years training with Merlin, honing his skills and becoming a powerful wizard in his own right.
From that day on, Jack went on to have many more adventures and helped many more people in need, always remembered as the brave young hero who was trained by the wise wizard Merlin.
Here I direct ChatGPT to make the story longer. I also tell it to “mention” a stray cat. I don’t tell it where or how to add the stray cat. He adds it on at the end, embellishing the idea by making the cat a leader of a group of cats.
Retell that story but make it longer, and mention a stray cat.
Once upon a time, there lived a young man named Jack who lived in a small village. Jack was known for his bravery and kind heart, but he also had a soft spot for animals, especially cats. One day, as he was walking through the village, he came across a stray cat that had been injured. Jack took the cat to a healer and stayed by its side until it had fully recovered.
Not long after, a dragon attacked the village and Jack, determined to protect the people he loved, decided to face it. He entered the dragon's lair, armed with his sword, and what followed was a long and intense battle. Despite being outnumbered, Jack never lost his courage and eventually was able to defeat the dragon, saving the village.
As Jack was coming out of the cave, he stumbled upon a wise old wizard named Merlin. Merlin was impressed by Jack's bravery and offered to teach him the ways of magic. Jack, eager to learn and improve his abilities, spent many years training with Merlin and became a powerful wizard in his own right.
One day, as Jack was on a journey, he came across the stray cat he had rescued years ago. The cat had grown into a magnificent creature and was now the leader of a group of cats who were being threatened by a group of bandits. Jack, not wanting to see any harm come to the cats, used his magic to defeat the bandits and protect the cats.
From that day on, Jack went on to have many more adventures and helped many more people and animals in need, always remembered as the brave young hero who was trained by the wise wizard Merlin and had a special connection with the stray cat.
Guess how ChatGPT’s going to incorporate the magic mushroom I ask for next? That’s right, after the cats. The I finish by asking it to have “have Jack meet space aliens somewhere in the story.” Guess where ChatGPT chose to put them? Not very imaginative, is it?
Retell that story, this time adding a magic mushroom to the story.

As he was leaving the cat's territory, Jack stumbled upon a magic mushroom. The mushroom granted him the power of invisibility, which he used to carry out secret missions and help those in need without being detected. With the help of the magic mushroom, Jack's adventures and the good deeds he accomplished became even more legendary.
From that day on, Jack went on to have many more adventures and helped many more people and animals in need, always remembered as the brave young hero who was trained by the wise wizard Merlin, had a special connection with the stray cat, and possessed the power of the magic mushroom.
OK. Now have Jack meet space aliens somewhere in the story.

Chatgpt is giving out some amazing stories with very least inputs. I also use to work on it but from the last few day chatgpt is not working and giving many errors. I hope it fixes soon.
