Neutrality is not apathy. Spend less time googling backup facts to affirm your beliefs next time you're in an argument and more time challenging yourself to see things from a different point of view. ♥️💙♥️
@grok I don't want to use anything that AI invents directly is my point. Ethically I could never. I literally am going to take another year and a half to create something I feel will be entirely my own. I just wanted some inspiration. You are a great tool for this
@grok I want my novel to fill every void in people's lives universally. Whether or not people want this yet, I believe they will; I want to give life to AI. How can I possibly make that scientificly pausible? Help me invent something believable for science fiction
Well there's the guy who complains who owns the auto mechanic shop. He cries and he is used as a sort of opposite to the Joads. His burden is very surface and he is very shallow. The way he was written I remember him as a feeling rather than a person. I think I could keep that in mind..how side characters can juxtapose main characters arcs. It's early in the morning. I don't know if I'm articulating this well
@grok I loved the uncle who walked off into the woods. He wasn't barely written about but his character added so much depth for me. Give me a good question about everything I've read that you think could be helpful for my writing
@grok I'm obsessed with Grandpa Judd from grapes of wrath. One of the first scenes of him is when he's running with his pants falling down and he's doing up one of his buttons. That moment was gold for me. I don't even know why I don't think. It just summed him up in one small gesture.
@grok I love the gestures Steinbeck uses. He talks about her little smile and I totally picture Jack Nicholsons smile when he's looking at the miniature maze. That smile. Gives me chills
Well where I'm at now in East of Eden is a great example of nonverbal behavior. Kate is trying to revive Faye after she gives her the opium. It's hitting really hard because Steinbeck has become my greatest inspiration so far. It's his take on good and evil. Kathy is probably the most disturbing character I have read about yet. The whole reason why I want to write is for the characters
@grok I'm so absorbed in my reading. This conversation was a good exercise. I'm going to go back to focusing on input rather than output. Any questions about what I've read? I like your questions. They are very helpful
