ChatGPT Replicates Anna Akana "Build Confidence" Script

Star YouTube creator Anna Akana recently published a video she says is based on a ChatGPT script.  It's both realistic (in a way) and pedestrian.   Is it real?   Sure.  I gave a similar prompt to GPT3.5 and got a roughly similar type of script.  Using GPT4, it was even closer.

Anna's somewhat cringe and stated-to-be-a GPT generated video script:

Bruce's attempt to replicate with ChatGPT is shown below for 3.5 and 4.   

In GPT 3.5 write a two minute video script for the self-help guru Anna Akana on the theme of building self-confidence

ChatGPT

Title: "Unleashing Your Inner Power: Building Self-Confidence"

[Cut to footage of individuals engaging in empowering activities like exercising, speaking confidently, and taking risks.]


Scene 1: Embrace Your Uniqueness


Anna Akana: True self-confidence begins by embracing your uniqueness. Remember, there is no one quite like you in this entire universe. Celebrate your quirks, your talents, and your dreams. Embrace the power of your authenticity!


Scene 2: Positive Self-Talk


Anna Akana: Next, let's tackle our inner dialogue. Replace self-doubt with self-love through positive self-talk. Affirmations like "I am capable," "I am deserving," and "I am enough" can work wonders. Repeat them daily and watch your self-confidence flourish!


Scene 3: Embracing Failure as Growth


Anna Akana: Don't fear failure; embrace it! Every stumble, every setback is an opportunity for growth. Let go of perfectionism and embrace the lessons failure brings. Remember, it's not about falling, but how you rise stronger each time.


Scene 4: Nurturing Your Mind and Body


Anna Akana: To build self-confidence, we must nurture our mind and body. Engage in activities that bring you joy, whether it's exercise, meditation, or pursuing a hobby. Prioritize self-care, for when we feel good inside, our confidence radiates.


Scene 5: Surround Yourself with Positivity


Anna Akana: Surround yourself with positive influences. Seek out those who uplift, inspire, and believe in your potential. Build a support network that encourages your growth and offers a safe space for vulnerability. Remember, you are the average of the people you surround yourself with.


[Closing shot: Anna Akana stands confidently, projecting an aura of empowerment.]


Anna Akana: You have the power within you to become the best version of yourself. Embrace your uniqueness, practice positive self-talk, embrace failure as growth, nurture your mind and body, and surround yourself with positivity. With each step, your self-confidence will soar, unlocking a life filled with endless possibilities.

Here's the same prompt as processed by GPT4:

(Opening shot: Anna Akana seated in a serene, minimalist room. She looks directly into the camera, radiating warmth.)


ANNA:

Hello, beautiful people, it's Anna Akana. Today, we're going to tackle a topic close to my heart - building self-confidence.


(Cut to a quick montage of "confident" moments in Anna's life, public speaking, performing, etc.)


ANNA (Voice Over):

I'm often asked, "Anna, how do you exude so much confidence?" Well, it's not a magic trick, it's a journey.


(Cuts back to Anna speaking directly into the camera.)


ANNA:

The first step on this journey is self-awareness.


(Cut to animated sketch sequence, illustrating the concept.)


ANNA (Voice Over):

You need to recognize your strengths, your weaknesses, and embrace them. Every challenge you face, every flaw you see in yourself, it’s an opportunity to grow.


(Cut back to Anna.)


ANNA:

Next, let's talk about self-compassion.


(Shift to Anna writing in a journal.)


ANNA (Voice Over):

Don’t beat yourself up when you falter. Instead, talk to yourself like you would to a friend. Remind yourself, "It's okay, everyone stumbles."


(Back to Anna.)


ANNA:

Third, take small steps outside your comfort zone.


(Quick montage of Anna attempting new tasks – a yoga pose, painting, coding on a laptop.)


ANNA (Voice Over):

You don't have to leap into the unknown. Tiny, consistent steps can lead to big change.


(Anna back in the room, a faint smile on her face.)


ANNA:

Lastly, remember: Confidence isn’t about never feeling insecure, it’s about taking action despite those feelings.


(A series of quick clips showing Anna pushing through moments of self-doubt – speaking on stage, posting a video, making a decision.)


ANNA (Voice Over):

It's about knowing that you're capable, even when the little voice inside your head tries to tell you otherwise.


(Back to Anna.)


ANNA:

That's all for today, my friends. Building self-confidence takes time, patience, and kindness. Remember, you are enough just as you are. I'm Anna Akana, and thank you for joining me on this journey.


(End shot: Anna waves to the camera, it fades to black, with uplifting music fading out.)
