Hi Kimi Wei. YES I did a LOT of rewriting. It will take time and experiment to craft the correct prompts. It may be about impossible -- a story. must lead off with something punchy but not too revealing. There can be many subtle jokes incorporated into a simple flow, but ChatGPT is not yet subtle. ChatGPT will compare my version and its own, which helps me iterate toward a better ruleset. I am happy with gradual results.

Yes I love the folksy version too, thank you for your feedback on that.

My experiments with DALL-E are unwieldy, like guiding a yacht with a rowboat rudder. CHAT-GPT crafted an excellent prompt and I only needed to iterate once to get this image.

Do you work in AI?

Hi Wendy, Kimi Wei here. Hope you are well! Did you need to do a lot of rewriting b/c ChatGPT got things wrong or b/c the story simply required it? I noticed that in the linked version (that's the original, right?) there were many folksy elements which are gone from this version. I kind of like the folksy notes. How about the picture? Did DALL-E create a picture for you, or just find one?
