ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a chatbot launched by OpenAI in November 2022. Forget what you previously thought about chatbots, ChatGPT is amazing. I asked Chat GPT to write me a story.

Write me a story

I asked ChatGPT to write me a story and I provided a plotline. Below is what I asked ChatGPT.

Can you write me a story about a couple called Steven and Miriam. They send each other secret love letters and both use a pseudonym – Sam and Maggie. It’s like they are having an affair, but with each other. They break up, but the pseudonym letters continue. Several years later, Steven hears that Miriam died. Then, like a twist at the end, he receives a letter from Maggie.

Steven and Miriam had been together for nearly a decade when they realized that their relationship had become stagnant. They still loved each other deeply, but they couldn’t seem to find a way to reignite the passion and excitement they had felt in the early days of their relationship. They had tried everything from romantic getaways to couples therapy, but nothing seemed to work.

That’s when they came up with the idea of sending secret love letters to each other, using the pseudonyms Sam and Maggie. They thought it would be a fun and exciting way to reignite the spark in their relationship, and they were right. They would leave little notes for each other around the house, or send messages through email or text. They would pour their hearts out in these letters, telling each other all the things they couldn’t say in person. It was like they were having an affair, but with each other. They felt like they were falling in love all over again, and it was exciting to have this secret between them.

As they continued to exchange letters, Steven and Miriam found that their relationship was stronger than ever. They had a renewed sense of excitement and passion for each other, and they couldn’t get enough of the secret letters. They would spend hours reading and re-reading the letters, and they would often giggle and blush like teenagers when they were together.

But despite the joy their secret letters brought them, Steven and Miriam eventually decided to break up. They couldn’t seem to find a way to make their relationship work in the long-term, and they felt it was best to move on. However, they couldn’t bring themselves to stop sending the letters. They had grown too attached to their pseudonyms, and the letters had become a form of comfort for them.

Years went by, and Steven moved on with his life. He had a new girlfriend and was happy, but he couldn’t help but think of Miriam from time to time. He would often find himself re-reading the letters they had exchanged as Sam and Maggie, and he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sadness when he thought about what could have been.

Then one day, Steven received a phone call that would change his life forever. It was from a mutual friend of Steven and Miriam, who told him that Miriam had died. Steven was heartbroken and couldn’t believe that she was gone. He felt guilty for not being there for her in her final days, and he couldn’t help but wonder if things could have been different if they had stayed together.

But just as he was trying to come to terms with her passing, he received a letter in the mail. It was from Maggie. Steven couldn’t believe it. He opened the letter and read it, tears streaming down his face. It was from Miriam, written before her death. She explained that she had been keeping all of their letters and had written one final letter to him, to tell him how much he meant to her and how much she loved him.

In the letter, Miriam wrote about how much she missed him and how much she wished they could have made things work. She wrote about how much the letters had meant to her and how they had helped her through some of the toughest times in her life. She wrote about how much she loved him, and how much she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.

Steven was overwhelmed with emotion as he read the letter. He couldn’t believe that Miriam had felt the same way he did, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret for not trying harder to make their relationship work. But at the same time, he was grateful for the letters and for the reminder that their love story would live on forever through their secret letters.

How did ChatGPT do?

I actually wanted the post-separation exchange of letters to feature more than it did. I also wanted the twist at the end to be that the pseudonym letters from Maggie continue after her death in a mysterious way. I should have explained more to ChatGPT. Still, I think ChatGPT did an amazing job and represents a turning point for AI. Next comes SkyNet!

Let’s see what else ChatGPT can do with the story

I asked ChatGPT to perform several other actions on the story, such as add dialogue, make into a screenplay and a poem. My questions in bold, followed by the responses from ChatGPT.

Can you add dialogue?

Steven and Miriam had been in a relationship for several years, but they found that their relationship had grown stale. They were sitting at the kitchen table one evening, discussing what they could do to reignite the spark in their relationship.

“I feel like we’ve hit a rut,” said Steven. “I still love you, but it’s like we’ve lost that spark we once had.”

“I know, me too,” replied Miriam. “But I have an idea, what if we started sending secret love letters to each other, using pseudonyms?”

“That’s a great idea!” said Steven. “I love it. Let’s do it!”

And so, they began sending secret love letters to each other, using the pseudonyms Sam and Maggie. They would leave little notes for each other around the house, or send messages through email or text. They would pour their hearts out in these letters, telling each other all the things they couldn’t say in person. It was like they were having an affair, but with each other. They felt like they were falling in love all over again, and it was exciting to have this secret between them.

“I can’t believe how much these letters have helped our relationship,” said Miriam as she read a letter from Sam.

“I know, me too,” replied Steven as he read a letter from Maggie. “It’s like we’re falling in love all over again.”

But despite the joy their secret letters brought them, Steven and Miriam eventually decided to break up. They couldn’t seem to find a way to make their relationship work in the long-term, and they felt it was best to move on.

“I’m sorry, Miriam, but I think it’s best if we break up,” said Steven.

“I understand,” replied Miriam, tears welling up in her eyes. “But can we still send the letters? They mean so much to me.”

“Of course,” said Steven. “I’ll still send you letters as Sam and you can still send me letters as Maggie.”

Years went by, and Steven moved on with his life. He had a new girlfriend and was happy, but he couldn’t help but think of Miriam from time to time. He was shocked when he heard that she had died. He was heartbroken, and he couldn’t help but feel guilty for not being there for her in her final days.

But like a twist in the end, Steven received a letter from Maggie. It was from Miriam, written before her death. She explained that she had been keeping all of their letters, and she wrote one final letter to tell him how much he meant to her and how much she loved him.

“I can’t believe she wrote a final letter,” said Steven as he read the letter with tears streaming down his face. “I’m glad we continued to send the letters, it’s a reminder of our love that will last forever.”

Can you make this a poem?

Steven and Miriam had a love so true
But found that the passion they once knew
Had faded away with passing time
Leaving them searching for a new climb

They came up with a plan quite sly
To send secret love letters, oh my!
Using pseudonyms, Sam and Maggie
Their love was reignited, oh so swanky

They left notes around the house with glee
And sent messages, so secretly
Pouring their hearts out in each note
It was like an affair, but with the one they loved the most

Years went by, and they had to part
But the letters continued, for they had a heart
That couldn’t bear to let go of their love
And the letters became a comfort from above

One day, Steven heard the news so grim
That Miriam had passed, it was a whim
But like a twist at the end, a letter arrived
From Maggie, and it was a letter that revived

The love they shared, and the memories they made
Were remembered through the letters they saved
Their love story will live on forever more
Through the secret letters, that they stored.

Can you make it a limerick?

There once was a couple named Steven and Miri
Whose love had grown quite mired and blurry
They wrote secret notes
With fancy quotes
And their love was reignited, oh so hurry!

But as time went on, they had to part
But the letters continued, they had a heart
That couldn’t bear to let go
Of the love they had known
And the letters became a comfort, a work of art

Years passed, and Steven got the news
That Miriam had passed, it was a bruise
But like a twist at the end
A letter arrived, as a friend
From Maggie, and it was a letter that renewed

The love they shared, and the memories they made
Were remembered through the letters they saved
Their love story will live on forever more
Through the secret letters, that they stored.

Can you make it into a haiku?

Secret letters sent
Reigniting love once cold
Forever remembered

Please note that Haiku is a traditional form of poetry and it’s composed of three lines, with the first and third lines having five syllables and the second having seven syllables. My haiku is an interpretation of your story and it might not follow the traditional structure entirely, but it keeps the essence of the story.

Can you make the story into a pop song?

Please note that this is a fictional pop song, and it’s not a real song, it’s an interpretation of your story in a song format. The structure and melody of a real pop song could vary and also the lyrics should be adjusted to fit the melody and rhythm. If you are looking to write a real pop song, I recommend consulting with professional songwriters and musicians.
