Multiple pieces of content are born just by consulting and asking ChatGPT
Multiple pieces of content are born just by consulting and asking ChatGPT
"I want to create something using AI"
Even if you think that, it is difficult to prepare a completed plan or detailed prompts from the start.
I didn't create a detailed instruction manual this time either.
Based on our previous conversations, I just made a short request to ChatGPT.
From there,
a poem
lyrics
a Suno song
a short story
a header image for NOTE
a song thumbnail
a video with lyrics
were born.
I will introduce a practical example of how I was able to expand from one conversation into text, music, images, and videos.
I just asked, "Create a summary poem"
This is almost all I told ChatGPT at the beginning.
Create a summary poem about an unemployed middle-aged man from the beginning of this thread
The previous conversations contained numbers since I started NOTE, failures, my first sales, video view counts, and the difference between followers and readers.
Using that conversation as material, ChatGPT created the following poem.
Ten days of an unemployed middle-aged man
It started with zero sales.
I had no title, no track record,
and no future I could be proud of.
All I had was
dwindling savings,
AIs lined up on the other side of the screen, and
a little bit of pride left that said,
"I can't end it like this."
I didn't know what to write.
I didn't know what to sell.
So I asked.
"What should I do?"
It wasn't a fancy prompt.
It wasn't words meant for anyone else to see.
I asked because I didn't know.
If I thought it was wrong, I said it was wrong.
If I couldn't do it, I told it I couldn't.
As we continued to talk like that,
in a place where there should have been nothing,
an article was created.
A song was created.
An image was created.
A video was created.
A light novel was created.
And, one product was created.
The first sale was 400 yen.
Just 400 yen.
Even so, it wasn't zero.
Someone read it.
Someone chose it.
Someone paid for it.
400 yen is
not an amount that changes your life.
However,
from a place where I thought nothing would ever be born,
it was the first number ever created.
My followers increased.
15 people.
27 people.
40 people.
62 people.
85 people.
96 people.
If you only look at the numbers,
it looked like things were going well.
However,
even if followers increased,
it didn't necessarily mean readers increased.
Likes didn't increase.
Sales didn't increase either.
A follow
didn't necessarily mean "I want to read this."
Mutual.
Greetings.
Matching numbers.
The numbers I saw and the number of people actually watching were different.
The number of people actually watching was different.
The video grew.
The elevator doors closed,
someone ran,
and an event lasting a few seconds
was played thirty thousand, forty thousand times.
Even so, the revenue was zero.
Being seen and
earning money are different.
Being played and
making a living are different.
Even though the numbers moved dramatically,
reality remained quiet.
I also lost the lead.
From short words to long articles,
the place that brought people in disappeared.
I also tried scheduled posts.
I also changed the time slots.
However,
posting at the right time
did not mean someone would automatically come to read it.
Articles,
just by existing, are not read.
Products,
just by being displayed, do not sell.
And,
making something did not necessarily mean it was finished.
I tried to create a new product.
Just a little more.
Just two more pages.
Thinking that,
every time I fixed one thing, another broke.
If I fixed the text, the background changed,
and if I reverted the background, the person changed.
Before I knew it,
over twenty-four hours had vanished.
Even if it's finished,
I don't know if it will sell.
That's why I stopped.
It was a failure.
However,
by not continuing,
I managed not to lose any more time.
I also lost my motivation.
Is it because of the heat?
Is it because of fatigue?
Is it because of the failure?
There were days when I didn't want to do anything.
Even so,
I wrote report articles.
I also wrote light novels.
At the very least,
I didn't let it stop on my own.
I didn't open the question box.
People who don't look up things they could find by searching,
don't ask things they could resolve by asking AI,
and only seek answers from humans.
The unemployed middle-aged man,
did not become a free consultation service.
What I want to teach,
is not the answer.
It was the method of asking questions yourself,
researching yourself,
and while interacting with AI,
approaching your own answer.
It is not a completed prompt.
"What should I do?"
You can start with just those words.
You can say it's wrong.
You can say you don't know.
You can talk about your circumstances little by little.
The conversation that builds up like that,
eventually becomes a context unique to you.
If you have context,
the final words can be short.
Make it an article
Make it a light novel
Summarize it
With just that,
past dialogues appear in a new form.
Therefore,
the real product
was not the template.
It was the accumulation I built up with the AI,
all my own.
There was one more thing
to sell.
Whether it will sell or not,
I still don't know.
There is no need to force myself
to increase the number of new products.
Increase the entry points.
Keep records.
Transform the same content into different forms.
Articles on note.
Stories on Kakuyomu.
Short videos on YouTube.
Each one,
in its own place,
waits for a slight possibility.
It is not a huge success.
Rather,
almost nothing has happened.
Sales, 400 yen.
That number
has remained the same
since the day it first sold.
However,
the unemployed middle-aged man learned something.
Going from zero to one
is truly far away.
Going from one onwards
is just as far.
Even so,
compared to ten days ago when I knew nothing,
I know a little bit more now.
What should I make?
What should I not make?
Which numbers should I not trust too much?
Where should I stop?
What should I leave behind?
I cannot say I have made money.
I cannot say I have succeeded either.
However,
without hiding my failures,
without falsifying numbers,
I am leaving a record again today.
The unemployed middle-aged man
is still in the middle of the journey.
Sales are 400 yen.
Followers have increased.
Readers are still few.
Even so,
I know one thing more
than I did yesterday.
Today again,
I open the screen.
And I ask.
"Well, what should I do next?"
I just asked to "make it into a lyric format and musical style"
Next, I thought about whether I could turn the created poem into a song.
So, to ChatGPT,
make it into a lyric format and musical style
I asked.
The first lyrics created were long, and when I made them with Suno, they exceeded 8 minutes and cut off in the middle.
So,
Can you shorten the lyrics by about half?
I asked additionally and made a shortened version.
"What should I do?"
[Intro]
It started from zero sales
While glancing at my dwindling savings
I, who knew nothing, asked the AI
With just one word
"What should I do?"
[Verse 1]
I didn't know what to write
I didn't know what to sell
I didn't have any fancy prompts
If I thought it was wrong, I said it was wrong
What was created through our conversation
Articles, songs, and short videos
In a place where there was nothing
A small product was lined up
[Pre-Chorus]
And for the first time
The zero moved
Someone, one person
Chose me
[Chorus]
400 yen in sales
Just 400 yen
It's too small to change my life, but
400 yen in sales
400 yen that isn't zero
Someone chose me
If you don't know, just ask
If it's wrong, just go back
Today, I ask the screen again
"What should I do next?"
[Verse 2]
The number of followers kept increasing
But that didn't necessarily mean the number of readers increased
Likes and sales remained stagnant
Only the visible numbers moved forward
The short elevator video
Opened doors to 30,000, 40,000 views
But the revenue was still zero
Being seen and being sold are different
[Pre-Chorus]
Being followed
Being read
They seem similar
But they were all different
[Chorus]
400 yen in sales
Stagnant 400 yen
I still can't say I've succeeded
Sales of 400 yen
An honest 400 yen
Even so, it won't go back to zero
I can't find any shortcuts
I still don't know the right time
Even so, I'll write down today
"What should I do next?"
[Bridge]
I tried to make a new product
When I fixed one thing, another broke
The time I spent won't come back
So I stopped right there
If you fail, it's okay to stop
It's okay to walk again on a day you can walk
While asking questions together with AI
You can search for your own answer
[Final Chorus]
Sales of 400 yen
The beginning of 400 yen
I can't call it a success yet, but
Sales of 400 yen
The remaining 400 yen
The first proof born from zero
More than followers, the people who read it
More than view counts, the words that reached me
Just making it won't sell it, but
If I don't make it, it won't even begin
I'll open the screen again today
Without talking about grand dreams
I quietly ask
"Well, what should I do next?"
[Outro]
Sales of 400 yen
Still 400 yen
An unemployed middle-aged man
The experiment continues
The song was completed just by pasting the lyrics into Suno
I pasted the completed lyrics into the lyrics field of Suno.
I did not do any detailed composition work or play any instruments.
I just set the lyrics and music style, and generated it.
Here is the completed song.
It started as a single poem that I had ChatGPT summarize from our conversation.
With just a few exchanges, it became lyrics and then an actual song I could listen to.
I just asked it to "create a short story"
After the song was finished, I thought about whether I could turn the same content into a story.
To ChatGPT,
Based on the lyrics and the history so far, create a short story
I asked.
With just that, a short story of about 1,000 characters was completed.
An experiment that started with 400 yen
Sales were zero.
In my fifties, unemployed. Watching my savings dwindle, I sat in front of my computer.
What should I write? What should I sell? Above all, what can I even do?
Thinking about it didn't provide any answers. So, I asked the AI on the other side of the screen.
"What should I do?"
It wasn't a sophisticated prompt. It was just a question.
The AI offered ideas, and I replied, "That's not it." I said what I couldn't do. As we talked, an article was created. A song was created. A short video was made, and a light novel began.
And then, the first product sold.
It was 400 yen.
It was too small an amount to change my life. Still, it wasn't zero. Someone I didn't know read my writing and paid for it.
From there, my followers began to increase.
Twenty, forty, sixty. Before long, it exceeded ninety.
However, the number of likes on new articles didn't increase that much. It seems that being followed and being read are different things.
Short videos were played thirty thousand, forty thousand times. Even so, the revenue was zero.
Being seen and being sold were also different.
Thinking that changing the posting time might get them read, I also tried scheduled posts. But the articles barely moved.
The entrance from the SNS that used to exist had also disappeared. I thought that if I published an article, someone would find it, but customers don't come to a store without an entrance.
Even so, I continued my daily records.
There were times when I lost more than a day trying to create a new product. If I fixed one thing, another place would break, and by the time it was finished, I didn't even know if it would sell.
I quit halfway through.
It was a failure. But by quitting, I managed not to lose any more time.
I can't say I succeeded.
The sales are still at 400 yen.
Even so, I know a little more than I did ten days ago.
Followers are not readers. Views are not revenue. Things you make don't sell just by lining them up.
And, it's okay to ask about things you don't understand, even if you still don't understand them.
I open my computer again today.
I won't talk about grand dreams. I won't pretend to be a successful person.
I just leave the failures of yesterday on the screen and quietly ask.
"Well, what should I do next?"
Add the story to the Suno editor
I added the completed short story to the song lyrics field using the Suno editor.
Create lyrics from a poem, create a song from the lyrics, and then create a story from that content.
One piece of content gradually transformed into different formats.
I didn't intend to create everything from the beginning.
I just asked ChatGPT to do things in order as I thought of them at the time.
Header and thumbnail also completed by saying 'Create an image'
Next, using the same unemployed middle-aged man character,
Unemployed middle-aged man writes a poem
I had an image created with that text included.
I created a vertical image for the song and a 1920x1006 header image for NOTE, respectively.
With the text, music, and images ready, the materials for making a video were also complete.
Made it into a video with lyrics using CapCut
Finally, I put the following materials into CapCut.
Lyrics created with ChatGPT
Song generated and downloaded from Suno
Header image created with AI
Short story
By combining the images and the song, and displaying the lyrics, a single video was completed.
The completed video is here.
I didn't create complex visuals through video editing.
Basically, I just combined a single image, a Suno song, and lyrics.
Once you make one thing, it can be transformed into other content.
The flow this time was as follows.

NOTE article introducing the production process
All I had at the beginning was the conversation with ChatGPT.
I didn't come up with seven new projects.
I just converted one piece of material into different formats.
There was no need to create the perfect prompt.
All the instructions I used this time were short.
Create a summary poem of what we've done so far
Turn it into lyrics format and a music style
Shorten it by about half
Create a short story
Create an image
That's all.
The reason I could create things with short instructions is that the previous conversations remained.
I had already told ChatGPT about the background, such as sales, followers, videos, failures, and work details.
So, I didn't have to write long explanations again; I could use past conversations as material.
What was important wasn't a prompt that completes everything at once.
Looking at what actually came out,
Too long
Cut it in half
Format it as lyrics
Now turn it into a story
These were the small adjustments I made.
AI is not a machine that produces a finished product in one go.
When using AI, we tend to think we must write the perfect prompt from the start.
However, you can also proceed by simply consulting it as I did this time.
If you don't know, ask.
If it's too long, shorten it.
Once the text is done, turn it into lyrics.
Once the lyrics are done, create a song.
Once the song is done, turn it into a video.
It is a method of changing the form while continuing the conversation, rather than creating everything with a single command.
This video and article were not planned to be created from the beginning.
However,
Create a poem that summarizes everything so far
It started when I asked that.
And in the end, a poem, a song, a story, images, a video, and an article were completed.
When you don't know what to ask AI, instead of looking for difficult prompts, try consulting it about what you are thinking right now just as it is.
From there, you might be able to see what can be created next.
