Understanding AI Creativity Settings

The Creativity Setting helps you guide how closely the AI follows your original idea when generating a story. Whether you want something that sticks exactly to your plan or you're open to surprises, this setting gives you control over how much creative freedom the AI should take.

 

What Is the Creativity Setting?

When generating a story, you can choose between three creativity levels:

• Conservative
• Balanced
• Inventive

Each level changes how the AI interprets your request, from strict adherence to your instructions to more open-ended storytelling.

 

1. Conservative

Use this when: You want the story to follow your input exactly with no unexpected changes.

How it works:
The AI will avoid adding or changing anything major. It will stick very closely to what you described — no surprises, no additional twists.

Example behavior:
If you describe a romantic dinner on a rooftop, the story will stay focused on that and won’t introduce new locations, characters, or plot points unless you asked for them.

 

2. Balanced

Use this when: You want your story to stay true to your original idea but with a few creative enhancements.

How it works:
The AI will keep the heart of your idea intact but might add small twists, new dialogue, or extra layers to characters to make the story more engaging.

Example behavior:
Your romantic rooftop dinner might include an unexpected firework show or a sweet memory from a shared past—details that enrich the story while keeping the core intact.

 

3. Inventive

Use this when: You’re open to a more imaginative version of your idea.

How it works:
The AI is given more creative freedom. It still respects your original concept, but it might introduce unique plot twists, stronger emotional arcs, or surprising developments that fit the theme.

Example behavior:
That rooftop dinner could turn into a spontaneous adventure—maybe the couple sneaks into a nearby jazz club or has a deep, unexpected heart-to-heart that changes their relationship.

 

How to Choose the Right Level

Ask yourself:

• Do I want a very specific story? Choose Conservative.
• Am I okay with light surprises that improve the story? Choose Balanced.
• Do I want to be surprised or inspired by something new? Choose Inventive.

 

Final Tip

If you're not sure which setting to start with, go with Balanced. It’s a good middle ground that keeps your story idea at the center while letting the AI enhance it naturally.

You can always try different levels to see which style you like best.
