Don’t Use ChatGPT to Write Articles. Use It For These Things Instead
The Truth Writers Don’t Want to Admit Let’s be honest—anyone who’s ever typed the classic prompt “Write an article about XYZ” into ChatGPT knows the disappointment.

Not just for the aesthetic (though let’s be real, holy temples and bone-laced prayer beads? Yes please), but because religion and mythology give your world depth. They shape history, identity, politics, conflict — and the soul of your story.
