"We're all experimenting with ChatGPT and every AI tool we can get our hands on. Sometimes it spits out gold. Other times? Not so much. Like when you ask it to write a training story about workplace safety and end up with something that sounds like a robot having an identity crisis. You read it, cringe, and think, "My old PowerPoint slides were more inspiring than this." Sound familiar? You're not alone."
"The problem isn't the AI, it's that we're not giving it enough to work with. Think about it: if you asked a human colleague to write a story with that little direction, you'd probably get something equally uninspiring (and they might give you a look that says "seriously?"). Effective storytelling, whether for training compliance, leadership development, or technical skills, requires structure, context, and purpose. When we understand how to communicate these elements clearly to AI, magic happens."
Vague prompts produce generic, uninspiring training stories. Many users submit minimal direction such as 'create a story about teamwork' and receive content that applies to any situation. Effective instructional storytelling for compliance, leadership, or technical training requires explicit structure, concrete context, clear objectives, and purposeful stakes. Human writers would need similar direction to produce compelling narratives. Applying proven narrative frameworks and precise prompting guidelines helps AI generate relevant, emotionally resonant stories that reinforce learning goals. Clear communication of constraints, audience, desired outcomes, and tone transforms AI from a bland content factory into a practical tool for memorable training stories.
