Using AI image tools like @midjourney + @OpenAI for idea generation and plot/character inspiration is a real game-changer for #writers!

The possibilities are immense!
🧵 for the #writerscommunity

First: Goodbye #writersblock! AI image & text generation let us come up with creative solutions to problems we may have been stuck on for days!

They help us generate new perspectives on

- characters
- ensemble
- plot
- story structure & dramaturgy
- dialogue
- setting

They are awesome for copy & marketing content, but their fictional stories are often basic, repetitive, sometimes contradicting & most importantly lacking YOUR style!

When it comes to AI text generation, using @OpenAI's #gpt3 as a tool for idea generation is much more effective. Let it

- create loglines to inspire your writing
- draft basic story arcs and twists
- list basic character types
... etc

And then take it from there! 🔥

Join the @midjourney Discord server and get going! (still think this one's the most convenient for writers, technically&legally)

midjourney.com

Writers can use #AIart as a source of inspiration for their writing tasks, e.g. transferring characters into different settings...

... the possibilities for writers to get inspiration are endless! I'd recommend checking out @GanWeaving @mrjonfinger @GuyP use cinematic tropes in their prompts to get astonishing results!
