Some ChatGPT results

 I thought I'd post a couple of the better responses from ChatGPT that I've had recently. The first one is a general story outline and the second generated AWS Cloudformation code. Though the plot outline was pretty generic, I think I could use that to get past some writer's block. But then again I don't write a lot of fictional stories so maybe an experienced writer might not find this useful. As for the cloudformation, the responses were really good. Now, I am experienced in writing a lot of cloudformation templates and I can say that while it's not perfect, the templates it generated were useable. With only some minor changes I could deploy them basically as-in and push up a stack. 

Story Outline

Prompt:

write a fictional story outline

• protagonist "josef" is a flawed character
• villain hides in plain sight
• heroine overcame a childhood bully
• protagonist and villain have shared history with heroine
• protagonist and villain play a chess match to determine the fate of the world

Response:

Title: "The Final Move"

Outline:

Josef, the protagonist, is a brilliant but arrogant chess player who is haunted by his past mistakes.

The villain, a former friend and rival of Josef, has been pulling the strings behind a global conspiracy, manipulating world leaders and hiding in plain sight as a successful businessman.

The heroine, a childhood friend of both Josef and the villain, has overcome her traumatic past of being bullied and becomes a key player in uncovering the villain's plans.

As the villain's machinations come to a head, Josef and the villain are forced to confront each other in a high-stakes chess match, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.

As the match unfolds, Josef must confront his own flaws and past failures, while the villain's true nature and motives are revealed.

In the end, the match reaches a dramatic conclusion as Josef and the villain make their final move, and the fate of the world is decided.
