Taking a break from the tech side of life, it’s important to note that half of our time and energy is dedicated to creating new interactive writing formats that “shape” the User’s experience within an AI-based conversation.
The closest analogy to this is to how early Altman films were Directed. We know the beginning and end (and, certain points in the middle), but, the path actually taken by the User evolves during the process. In the case of interactive conversation, that path is a combination of User Generated input as well as the “content shaping” or “overlay” structures that are determined in the Authoring process.
Beginning, middle and end of the day: Great writing matters.
For writers, it’s a fascinating space to explore. How do you allow and encourage the User to improvise while also tweaking them to get them to the story points you want them to hit? Writers do need to understand the breadth of the technology platform to avail of all of the bells/whistles it offers — new features such as “relative emotion detection” that can trigger conversation be moved in a different direction are all extremely valuable to creating the best User Experience and add new territory for Writers to explore. Incorporating “short term memory” fields for each individual Users also create a more personal experience for the conversation to unfold – Writers can create characters who are speaking to individuals, not the undefined “masses.”
@contentAI we work with Writers from different disciplines to bring them into the interactive writing process for this platform — that’s part of the pleasure of Producing AI Content.
