Constructing short stories properly is an art form in and of itself, and is very hard to do well. But an LLM can help you somewhat, at least good enough to amuse yourself at least. But it does depend on your input.

There's a big difference between:

"Write me a story"

and things like

* "As the last star in the sky died, the shadows began to coalesce into a presence that wore the face of my own mother."

* "The red trees whispered quietly in the wind, their mana flowing around them in twisted strands. I reached out, pulled, twisted..."

* or even just: "write 10 dark fantasy prompts" (to give you a start. )

And it also depends on if you have the LLM write the whole story by itself, or if you're helping (or vice versa: have the LLM help you). And Claude, Llama and ChatGPT each give very different results! )

I mean, if you've convinced yourself that these tools can never lead to creativity, then I can't change your mind. But if you're a person who wants to see how one's creativity can be supported: Maybe you can get some ideas, perhaps just enough to break out of writer's block some time.
