Finishing Each Other's Sandwiches
A collaborative writing experiment with ChatGPT where we take turns.
The Game
Like the scene from Frozen, but for writing. One person starts a sentence, the other finishes it, then continues with a new incomplete sentence.
Example
Me: The programmer stared at the screen, unable to believe...
GPT: ...that the bug had been caused by a single missing semicolon. She leaned back and...
Me: ...wondered if she should have pursued her childhood dream of becoming...
GPT: ...a marine biologist. The ocean seemed so much simpler than legacy code.Observations
- ChatGPT picks up on tone and genre well
- Sometimes takes unexpected but coherent turns
- Fun way to explore collaborative creativity
Variations
- Specify a genre (mystery, comedy, sci-fi)
- Add constraints (each turn must include a color)
- Multiple AI personas taking turns
