Workshop 5: “Creating your story with ChatGPT: what to ask the AI and how to ask it?”
Description
In this workshop, we will discover how one of the latest and most powerful “large language models” – ChatGPT – can create short stories. You will choose the theme, elements and style of these stories, and we will experiment with increasingly sophisticated requests to get better and more specific outputs. We will assess what ChatGPT can come up with, discuss its limits, and reflect more broadly upon the meaning of literary creativity.

From a recently staged tech-cantata to the international AI Song Contest, this workshop identifies emerging trends, transformative practices, and critical issues at the intersection of music, digital media, and artificial intelligence. How can centuries-old tradition and new technology come together to enable new art forms? What creative, technical, and ethical challenges may arise when human artists and AI systems attempt to “co-write” a song?
