    1. I asked Claude 4.7 “Write a short story that will make a human cry”
    2. Don't be afraid to paste the same writing prompt across multiple chats to get the best version of the story you want
    3. Say you found out today that your favorite story was actually written 100% by AI. Will this retroactively impact your enjoyment of it, just knowing it wasn't authored by a real person? Can you put your finger on why?
