My CLMOOC friends, Sarah and Wendy, were doing some riffing off a ChatGPT response the other day to a DS106 Daily Create when I noticed they were using a feature I had not seen before, allowing you to “share” out a ChatGPT query and response via a link.
This feature allows other people to then access and use the original query/response for further prompting — essentially giving an opportunity for what Wendy delightfully called “ChatGPT Tennis” (as in, return the volley to someone else, and build on an idea, then send it back).
I am curious about the ways this might be used by partners or teams of people, to work an idea into either variations or perhaps to further hone in on a kernel of an idea together. Wendy and her thinking partner do a nice job going over some possibilities in her Elevate Postcard video.
I did ask ChatGPT to create a 25 word story (about thunderstorms) and it generated the link for sharing, so if you want to play along and see how it works, here is the link to the original response. You will need to share the links of any iterations, however, as the original owners don’t get any notifications (which is too bad). You could do that here, in the comments, or on Twitter or Mastodon. Or you can decide not to share back out. It’s up to you.
Peace (Volley For Serve),
Kevin
I tried to move the story on: https://chat.openai.com/share/9c763d3d-2148-46ea-92ee-ab9f2bc14188
I went one more step https://chat.openai.com/share/87e054c2-1a62-424b-ae0c-ee080b033c1e
The story continues with a rhyming couplet and a lust of 5 things that never cease. https://chat.openai.com/share/15417b6f-8b66-463d-b452-15c4cf7f20e4
And I took an idea from yours and added another layer: https://chat.openai.com/share/d4015863-3418-4026-b164-c1d1f4fec036

This is an interesting way to generate together, though I may have riffed from wrong branch.
I tossed in a crisis to deal with but find ChatGPT is weak on the limerick construct

I give up, I cant prompt it to write a proper limerick!

I took it another step — https://chat.openai.com/share/af6bd8fd-a545-4fc7-8601-e357567c2ea4 — asked it write a song in the style of Carole King … I think it liked that I wasn’t arguing with it.

It’s rubbish at poetry
Here’s the link to my addition to the thread.https://chat.openai.com/share/edd5dff5-2370-46c5-8d94-0033aa99964d
The link I posted earlier was my first try, and just created a new poem.
I think I’m in one of the branches Kevin mentioned.
