Computers and Technology:
AI Writing and Illustration Project

Overview of the Project:

  • AI WRITING AND ILLUSTRATION:
    • For this project, you will be doing a little bit of writing, a little bit of AI creation and a little bit of AI illustration
  • PART ONE: Using GOOGLE DOCS, create a file named SHORT_STORY in your COMPTECH FOLDER. You will be writing a short story. For this story, you have a couple of requirements:
    • Your story must have a BEGINNING, a MIDDLE and an END.
    • Your story must be AT LEAST two paragraphs long.
    • Your story MUST include all of the following elements (not necessarily in order!)
      • A SQUIRREL
      • A MOUNTAINTOP
      • AN APPLE
      • A BICYCLE OR MOTORCYCLE
      • LOOKING AT STARS
  • PART TWO: When you are done, please jump on CHATGPT.COM. Enter a query for ChatGPT to write you a short story with the same requirements as above. Make sure to be detailed in your request! If you wish to ask for a particular style of story, such as a "Murder Mystery" or a "SCIENCE FICTION" story, you can, but you do not have to.
    • Once your story has been generated, REVIEW it. If there are parts that you do not like, ask ChatGPT to revise them to your standards.
    • When you are COMPLETELY done generating, copy and paste the ChatGPT story to the end of the story that YOU wrote, so that I can see both of them.
  • PART THREE: Go back to ChatGPT.
    • Tell ChatGPT that you would like it to ILLUSTRATE a short story, please tell it to create the illustration in a particular STYLE "Japanese Woodblock Print" or "Comic Book Art" or "Manga" or whatever makes you happy.
    • Then, copy whichever of your two stories you like the most into the query window, so that Chat GPT can illustrate it.
    • If you do not like any of the artwork that you generate, try again, using different queries and details until you get the image that you want.
    • When you have the image that you like, do the following:
      • Download the Image: Click on the image to open it in full view, then right-click (or tap and hold on mobile devices) and choose "Save image as..." to download it to your computer or device.
      • Insert into Google Doc:
        • Open your Google Doc called SHORT_STORY in your COMPTECH folder.
        • Go to Insert > Image > Upload from computer.
        • Select the downloaded image file from your device.
    • Now, just for something completely absurd... Go back to Chat GPT and tell it that you would like to remake the illustration in the style of a birthday card for a 5 year old. Save those results to your story document, as well!
