Folks are saying the greentext version of the Bible is skipping major points that are key, and they are right. Below is the conversation that I had with ChatGPT before I started generating all the books. This is going to sound funny but I think is true, look at the examples it created. Since I didn’t call them out as terrible stories it used them to tune itself for the Bible. Trust me, if you don’t call out ChatGPT on its BS, it will just keep going. Interestingly enough I have asked it cold to do the same thing for me in a new prompt and the results are totally different.
Me: What is a Green text?
ChatGPT
A greentext story is a form of short storytelling popularized on imageboards, particularly on 4chan. The name "greentext" comes from the convention of starting each line of the story with a greater-than sign (>), which, on 4chan, automatically changes the text color to green.
Greentext stories often have the following characteristics:
Brief and Succinct: They are typically short and to the point, often resembling bullet points rather than full sentences or paragraphs.
Anecdotal or Humorous: Many greentext stories are personal anecdotes, jokes, or humorous tales. They can range from relatable everyday experiences to absurd and fantastical events.
Informal Language: The language used is often casual, with frequent use of internet slang, memes, and abbreviations.
First-Person Perspective: Most greentext stories are written from a first-person perspective, with the narrator recounting their own experiences.
Here is an example of a greentext story:
shell
Copy code
>be me
>walking home from school
>see a dog
>dog looks at me
>i look at dog
>dog starts following me
>panic.jpg
>run home
>dog still following
>get inside house
>dog is at door
>open door
>dog runs inside
>mom freaks out
>dog now lives with us
>best day ever
The format makes it easy to quickly share and consume stories, and the distinctive style has become a recognizable and beloved part of internet culture.
Me: Can you write stories in that format?
ChatGPT
Sure, I can write stories in the greentext format. Here are a couple of examples:
Example 1: The Lost Wallet
shell
Copy code
>be me
>walking through the park
>reach into pocket
>no wallet
>panic mode activated
>retrace steps
>see something on the ground
>it's my wallet
>pick it up
>random person walks up
>they also lost a wallet
>hand them my wallet
>it's theirs
>they give me my wallet
>both walk away confused but happy
Example 2: The Mysterious Cat
shell
Copy code
>be me
>chilling at home
>hear weird noise outside
>open door
>see a cat
>cat stares at me
>stare back at cat
>cat walks inside like it owns the place
>shrug and close door
>cat curls up on couch
>decide to keep cat
>name it Whiskers
>Whiskers is best cat ever
>mfw I never had a cat before
Would you like more examples, or is there a specific theme or scenario you have in mind?
Me: Please summerize the book of Genisis in Greentext story format.
