What purpose would this serve? Algorythmic content isn't tropeable.

I'm asking if we can make a page about the chatbot, not the works made by the chatbot.

Besides, ChatGPT is the fad now.

There Is No Such Thing as Notability, which works both ways - so I'm not sure how relevant the fad is.

Perhaps a Useful Notes page about its use in fiction?

^^^ At most, it can get a useful notes page or something like that, which would exclude listing tropes, Trivia and YMMV entries (which, I assume, why it was suggested in the first place).

Plus, it's not even "content" generator, it's just a chat bot; what's the purpose of writing about those?

Admittedly it is common for people to generate fanfiction content with it in particular, but AI generated content like that is also nothing new with the amount of "I forced an AI to write a [blank] script" memes out there.

^ chat bots in general have also been around for over a decade, yeah.

e: nvm

If you can give it a good enough description as well, it could go to Useful Notes probably.

I don't even see the point of a Useful Notes page for this. The UN page says the purpose of the namespace is

  1. To debunk common media stereotypes.

  2. To help you understand some media better.

  3. To inform (and sometimes entertain) about subjects common in storytelling.

I don't see how ChatGPT has anything to do with these.

It's perfectly reasonable to make a Useful Notes page for works that involve ChatGPT (the software itself isn't tropable, naturally).

The best way to do it would be to make a sandbox page to draft it, and start a TLP thread for discussion. =3

^^ Sounds like it'd fill all three to me.

Sandbox.AI Generated Works can be such list.

This may be better discussed in its own thread (or an existing one)

For the record, I think a Useful Notes page would be fine, especially since AI-generated writing is becoming a major concern in the entertainment industry—I believe it was an issue in the recent writers' strike.

Agreed that this could use its own thread though, or if it's specifically Useful Notes we're talking about the Useful Notes cleanup—I've seen at least one Useful Notes page drafted there before.

I think it could be taken to the UN clean up thread but I think we can do that and still take the draft to TLP as Bisected suggested because that thread isn't that active and more input might be needed.

More general AI talk can go on its another thread though yeah.

We have this thread that seems close enough for the discussion.

IDK if it warrants becoming Useful Notes now that we're doing the Useful Notes / Platform namespace split though.
