Stanford CRAFT presents a resource exploring the role of AI in storytelling, featuring curated materials including videos and articles that examine whether AI tools like ChatGPT can produce compelling creative writing. The resource challenges readers to distinguish between human-written and AI-generated short stories, while also demonstrating how AI can be used to create animated story videos.

The lesson focuses on key questions around creativity, authenticity, and originality when AI enters the storytelling process. It asks learners to weigh the trade-offs of AI making content creation easier against potential losses in voice and genuine creative expression. The resource introduces the concept of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) — AI capable of producing new text, images, music, and voice — and positions it as a tool that may eventually write compelling stories, though it acknowledges that human storytelling still holds the edge today.
