So, I'm working on a fan fiction, that has started out as a simple crossover idea, and is quickly blossoming into a novel! I've had some sticky issues that I've found myself boxed into a corner, and so I thought, I'm going to use some AI to help brainstorm some solutions. This, my friends, is a responsible way to use Artificial Intelligence when writing!
My simplistic idea was to combine Fate Testarossa (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha), Sasami Kawai (Magical Project S / Tenchi Muyo!), and Skuld (Ah! My Goddess) on a quest of Coming to Age, while being trapped within a magical-prohibitive dimension. Their goal was a simple one: To rescue all the captured magical girls, and free themselves from this dimension, all by themselves -- without using the help they're typically dependent upon. While this was already a good story, it lacked the umph, and tugging of heart strings that I love writing into my stories. But as I finished watching the anime Magical Project S, I found a better antagonist role-model, perfectly suited to be a personal nemesis for all three girls! Anyway, while I was brainstorming throughout the past couple of days, my outline is becoming so juicy! I'm literally beside myself with anticipation. I can't wait to begin drafting, but...
I've turned the entire planet Earth into a magical prison, powered by Zero-Point Energy. But I don't know all that much about ZPE, so I asked AI to help me create something that's somewhat plausible. It literally said:

And I must admit, it laid out a pretty comprehensive system that would totally work (at least within the fictional setting I'm using.) Needless to also say, I was highly amused and broke out into a fit of giggles while waiting for the subway when I read that title! Now I've got a fair amount of good content that I can work with. There's quite a bit I don't care for that the AI suggested, but there are some true gems of ideas that are totally worth exploring.Zero-Point Energy Generator: A Technomagical Breakdown
