#StorytellingPSA

AI as a research tool for storytelling is useless.

You ask it for folktales, it makes stories up. You ask it for sources for those tales, it makes books up. You ask for real books, it gives you books that don't contain the story you want.

It also misattributes made-up stories to existing cultures. Often indigenous ones.

I have had several conversations with actual storytellers using ChatGPT to find "authentic" myths and folktales. It scares me.
