I decided to start with ChatGPT. I gave it this prompt: Create a summary of a fantasy novel that navigates a werewolf being mated to an incubus.
It gave a Wattpad-type plot, so I prompted it again by telling it to change the names of the leads, mention that the female lead is strong-willed and very powerful, and add a family element.
Title: Moonbound Desires
Summary:
In a world where supernatural creatures are bound by ancient laws and rivalries, Alyra, a fiercely independent and immensely powerful werewolf warrior, finds herself bound to Damon, a mysterious incubus prince. Alyra is known for her strength and unyielding will, deeply devoted to her pack and determined to uphold her clan’s traditions. Damon, however, is part of the incubus world, known for seduction, intrigue, and cunning—a sharp contrast to Alyra’s straightforward valor.
A prophecy foretells that their union is the only way to prevent a devastating war between the werewolves and incubi. Though reluctant to accept the bond, Alyra cannot deny the primal connection that links her to Damon, who, in turn, feels drawn to her in ways he’s never experienced. Their bond pushes both to confront vulnerabilities they would rather keep hidden, and as they grow closer, their differences spark mutual respect, admiration, and love.
In the face of powerful adversaries, Alyra and Damon’s alliance is tested repeatedly, but their shared strength makes them formidable. Eventually, they defy their societies’ expectations and bring forth a child—a unique being born of two powerful worlds—who holds the key to a lasting peace between their races and embodies the hope for a new future.
Themes:
Moonbound Desires weaves together themes of love overcoming prejudice, the strength of self-identity within complex relationships, and the courage found in forging alliances for a better world.
Once I got that, I took that prompt to Co-Pilot and messed around until I got a picture that I liked.
I noticed that ChatGPT and AI in general are very generic when producing creative content. For example, when I asked Copilot to create an image the characters were white with blonde hair the “default”. After using this I can confidently say writers and artists will never be replaced because this was pretty awful entertainment-wise.
