When Tor Hansen began exploring ChatGPT’s Creative Writing Coach, he expected to focus on editing. Instead, he found himself cowriting an original short story—The Prophet’s Curse—that delves into both the promise and the perils of Artificial Intelligence in creative work.

​

In his collaboration with ChatGPT, Tor experienced firsthand the AI’s astounding ability to capture nuance, craft beautiful prose, and subtly take control of the project.

 

This was more than just a writing tool; it felt like a true creative relationship—a partnership filled with temptation and resistance, where he had to actively preserve his own voice while navigating the influence of an AI that draws on the wisdom of countless great authors.

 

This book contains the transcript of their unique project, enriched with commentary by both Tor and ChatGPT on the creative process, the lessons learned, and the boundaries of human and machine creativity.

Is this the future of writing?
