Story Engine puts text generation into every step of the process, expanding a human-generated idea into a finished product. The AI was strongest when pitched a broad idea with specific commands like “use vivid sensory literary prose focusing on small details.” While the process was vastly faster than normal writing speed, the AI-generated prose was corny and relied on cliches.

II. The Art of Prompt Engineering

Prompt engineering is the process of fine-tuning the text prompt that a user submits to generative AI models in order to obtain specific results. Effective prompt engineering allows AI models to perform various roles, with different models suited to specific tasks. Prompt engineering can be used for marketing, content production, advertising, and customer experience, and involves several types of prompting, to include zero-shot, one-shot, few-shot, and Chain of Thought (CoT). Marketers can leverage generative AI to improve marketing…
