What does the summary/outline do to the AI generation?
Exploring the impact of a populated outline on prose generation.
At first glance, you might wonder why you would want to modify or expand your scene summaries as you go. What impact does it have on your prose?
A lot, actually. The system prompts use the scene summaries of the scenes prior to the beats you are working on, and they help give the AI background context of everything that has happened.
If you have a mention of a red ball in chapter two, don’t be surprised if it comes up again, as the AI assumes it’s important.
Whether you use scene summarization prompts, or manually summarize each scene, ensure that the information that is essential to your story remains. Unless her breakfast is magical, we probably don’t need to know what your heroine is eating!
