Does Chat GPT write creatively?

Seamlessly, give you the edge, unleash, revolutionize, game-changer, .... These are a few examples of words and phrases that I have repeatedly seen in contents generated by Chat GPT! It also uses certain structures more often than others. Don't you think it's not as creative as some claim it is? Seems like it is highly biased when it comes to using chunks of language.

GPT is, of course, an algorithm. But it can produce very creative content and even code if you get creative with prompting =)

@myprlab The content maybe but the language, I don't think so.

I feel when I ask it to write sql! It knows much range of how to write sql!
Kate Chasten
@naoto_shibata_morph what about its use of language in general?
Chris Watson
I do not think so. It just makes synonyms possible! Even Google recently claimed that the content written by ChatGPT is unlikely to outrank there on the web as it does not provide any additional data and information. Just revamp what's available and Google every time demands something that is very new and useful for the user.
Kate Chasten
@excellentweb_australia Totally agree. But read somewhere, that Google is leaning toward Chat GPT generated content by changing its old motto " content written by people for people" to " content written for people". Is this true?
Chris Watson
@kate_chasten It will make sense only if ChatGPT has real-time data and information. I mean who is interested to read content that is 2 years old without any update?

I simply love ChatGPT, and I use it throughout my whole day, for all kinds of tasks. But i simply cannot feel it is creative, never. I just see ChatGPT and any other LLM (until now) as huge organized knowledge chunks that automate information searching ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ChatGPT can write creatively, but you need to train it. Here's a few ways to make it more creative: > Tell it to 'act as' a creative writer (you can even use a famous writer) > Copy and paste your favourite creative writing into the chat and ask ChatGPT to write in a similar way > The more advanced way is to play with the temperature setting on the chat: Temperature ranges from 0 to 1. Medium temperature (0.3 to 0.7): Balanced creativity and coherence. High temperature (0.7 to 1): Highly creative and diverse, but potentially less coherent.
Kate Chasten
@drewsalesplaybookbuilder I've got to try that, but little have I seen from it, I can tell it won't do so good.

I agree, But have you tried using openai playground by changing temperature? It gets more creative with an Increase in temperature.

Depends on the prompt. I've found that just by tweaking a few instructions (like make this sound less sales-y, or make it appeal to gen Z) it can give you good content. Of course, if you're using 3.5 you need to edit it heavily, but still came up with stuff I'd have to struggle to phrase. And I think I'm a decent writer.
Kate Chasten
@stelofo Thanks for sharing your view.
Jake Harrison
No, and even you give it creative context, it will draft very traditional and stereotype
Kate Chasten
@jakeharr yea. Unfortunately it does.
Rohan Pathak
it is actually creative but you will have to put in a lot of effort into the prompt and even after that you will have to fine tune it with other simple instructions but after using it for three days every single day you'll be able to get your desired output but again it all comes down to how specific your prompt is

@persuasionkid I've used it for month and I don't remember it giving me something worthy of admiration.

AI still sucks. You have to give it hundreds of inputs and teach it, even though it's teaching itself. I can smell an AI article a mile away. They are almost always in number/bullet listicle format and the concluding paragraph always begins with, "Remember..." before it tries to summarize and teach you something. It's always better to write organically as time permits. In the long-run, nuanced organic writing is what will stay evergreen on the internet, and AI will be penalized.
Kate Chasten
@chitterz You said it Leena. It sucks.
I believe no. Jasper it better then chatgpt in terms of creativity
Kate Chasten
@qudsia_ali I haven't heard of Jasper. Could tell me a bit about it?

Absolutely! I’ve noticed ChatGPT generating similar words, phrases, and sentence patterns too. However, you can totally tweak and finetune its outputs to nail your specific use case and unique brand tone with the right prompts! If your prompts are unique, your ChatGPT outputs will be too!
Daniel Zaitzow
@thejanw 100% I think it depends on the inputs and the amount of information you give the LLM. I also always tell them/it/the superhuman computer model haha to "Think as a" or "Write this from the perspective of a"
Thejan Wi
@dzaitzow Agreed.. Phrases like below usually work well, "Think like a X.." "Act as you're a X.." "Pretend you’re an X.."

ChatGPT is only as creative as the prompts you give it. If your prompt is generic, so will the response it spits out. For example, "Write me an article about artificial intelligence" vs. "I am writing an article on artificial intelligence and its benefits for small business owners. Provide me with 3-5 choices for an article title of no more than 70 characters. Include a meta description of no more than 155 characters. Include H2 section headers for "What is AI?", "Benefits of Using AI in Small Business," and "Challenges of AI for Small Business Owners," and include a Conclusion paragraph. Write in a tone that is light-hearted and easy to understand. Liken it to an elementary school teacher talking to her students. Acknowledge that you understand my request."
Mick Essex
It's also important to note that I will usually have 3-4 other prompts following the first one, and I will still add my own take to the final product.
Kate Chasten
@mick_essex I've done the same. But it mixes up soo easily.
Mick Essex
@kate_chasten it certainly can! I’ve begun using Bard more frequently and I love it

Consider asking ChatGPT to emulate a specific style. It performs well in this case. You can even submit your own writing as an example and request it to mimic your style.

@kate_chasten Agreed! I can recognize text generated with ChatGPT if the human operator did not tune the excitement down. It's probable that OpenAI sets the parameters by default to make it optimistic, polite, and excited about everything it writes. :)
Kate Chasten
@serge_neskoromny Yea. But why should it always use words like I listed above in almost every article?
Kane
I don't think he is very creative in his word choice when writing. He tends to fall into a certain pattern. However, his creativity comes through in the themes and ideas for his writing, like contributing prompts and writing ideas. So I usually don't let him write the final article. 😐
Kate Chasten
@blueeon Yeap. The main issue is its use of language. It's just not that natural.
abhilash shettigar
I don’t think it’s creative it’s just using words from content in the web by scraping
Kate Chasten
@abhilash_shettigar1 It also uses a set of patterns too much
Mohamed Hassan
It depends on what you use it for. It depends on the input you provide. Generally speaking, it saves a lot of time. I think the time I will take to generate a piece of content with GPT, then edit it to my liking is less than if I were to do it all form scratch.
Gaurav Sharma
I feel that it does a decent first version, but you need to prompt it again and again to get a usable version. And with that much time spent, you might as well write it yourself. At the moment it seems we are just helping OpenAI train newer models for free :)
Tanya Pereira
I don't think it's essentially creative, but it can give you a push in the right direction. It''s a good place to start for sure
Kate Chasten
@tanya_p True. It's excellent when it comes to giving ideas.

It's like becoming 100 IQ points smarter. If you use it right.

@kate_chasten What's the argument against?
