“…The adoption of generative AI platforms in education proposes a fundamental shift in how educators and students approach narrative creation (Pellas, 2023). These tools allow for exploring new ways of storytelling, transcending the limits of written text to include multimedia resources that enrich the narrative (Fang et al, 2023). This enhancement of narrative practices not only improves students' writing and creative expression skills but also fosters a deeper and more critical understanding of digital technologies and their potential for effective communication.…”

This study examines the impact of ChatGPT on narrative scriptwriting abilities and cognitive load in a sample of 41 master's students enrolled in a Digital Narratives course. Using a randomized experimental design, participants were divided into two groups: an experimental group (n = 20) that interacted with ChatGPT and a control group (n = 21) that did not. Our methods involved pre- and post-tests to assess changes in digital storytelling skills and cognitive load, as defined by intrinsic, extraneous, and germane load measures. The results indicated no significant improvement in digital storytelling skills for the experimental group compared to the control group, suggesting that the use of ChatGPT does not markedly enhance narrative writing abilities in the short term. However, a significant reduction in germane cognitive load was observed among the experimental group, pointing to ChatGPT's potential to facilitate the learning process by reducing the mental effort required for task integration and application. The study underscores the complexity of integrating AI into learning environments and highlights the need for strategic AI implementation tailored to specific educational objectives. It also points to the importance of longitudinal research to fully understand the long-term effects of AI on learning and cognitive development. Este estudio examina el impacto de ChatGPT en las habilidades de escritura de guiones narrativos y la carga cognitiva en una muestra de 41 estudiantes de maestría matriculados en un curso de Narrativas Digitales. Utilizando un diseño experimental aleatorio, los participantes se dividieron en dos grupos: un grupo experimental (n = 20) que interactuaba con ChatGPT y un grupo de control (n = 21) que no lo hacía. Nuestros métodos incluyeron pruebas previas y posteriores para evaluar los cambios en las habilidades de narración digital y la carga cognitiva, según lo definido por medidas de carga intrínsecas, extrañas y pertinentes. Los resultados no indicaron una mejora significativa en las habilidades de narración digital para el grupo experimental en comparación con el grupo de control, lo que sugiere que el uso de ChatGPT no mejora notablemente las habilidades de escritura narrativa a corto plazo. Sin embargo, se observó una reducción significativa en la carga cognitiva relevante entre el grupo experimental, lo que apunta al potencial de ChatGPT para facilitar el proceso de aprendizaje al reducir el esfuerzo mental requerido para la integración y aplicación de tareas. El estudio subraya la complejidad de integrar la IA en entornos de aprendizaje y destaca la necesidad de una implementación estratégica de la IA adaptada a objetivos educativos específicos. También señala la importancia de la investigación longitudinal para comprender plenamente los efectos a largo plazo de la IA en el aprendizaje y el desarrollo cognitivo.

“…On the other hand, machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) technologies, extensively employed within artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, have now become indispensable components of digital platforms, influencing numerous facets of humans' everyday existence [8]. Moreover, large language models (LLM) powered by AI are meticulously designed to produce text that closely resembles human writing by analyzing extensive datasets gathered from the Internet [9].…”

“…AI story generators represent revolutionary generative AI platforms engineered to liberate authors from the clutches of writer's block and elevate the quality of their narratives, effortlessly conjuring up a treasure trove of ideas, characters, and plotlines [11]. Generative AI is considered a subset of AI technology that can produce original content by learning from data and using complex algorithms and neural networks to create human-like text, images, and music [8,10]. As cutting-edge technologies, AI platforms boast a user-friendly interface that ensures accessibility for writers at all skill levels to enhance the writing process, empowering users to craft content that is both captivating and uniquely their own to weave narratives that transcend their creative boundaries and enrich their literacy creations [12].…”

“…More specifically, a generative AI platform's narrative intelligence has the potential to find applications in content creation, chatbots, virtual assistants, and even the storytelling aspect of video games. This contributes to creating digital experiences that are more engaging and immersive [1,8]. In contrast, traditional storytelling relies solely on human creators for content generation.…”

Digital storytelling and generative artificial intelligence (AI) platforms have emerged as transformative tools that empower individuals to write with confidence and share their stories effectively. However, a research gap exists in understanding the effects of using such web-based platforms on narrative intelligence and writing self-efficacy. This study aims to investigate whether digital story creation tasks on web-based platforms can influence the narrative intelligence and writing self-efficacy of undergraduate students. A pretest–posttest comparison study between two groups was conducted with sixty-four undergraduate students (n = 64), majoring in Primary Education. More specifically, it compares the effects of the most well-known conventional platforms, such as Storybird, Storyjumper, and ZooBurst (control condition), and generative AI platforms, such as Sudowrite, Jasper, and Shortly AI (experimental condition) on undergraduate students, with an equal distribution in each group. The findings indicate that the utilization of generative AI platforms in the context of story creation tasks can substantially enhance both narrative intelligence scores and writing self-efficacy when compared to conventional platforms. Nonetheless, there was no significant difference in the creative identity factor. Generative AI platforms have promising implications for supporting undergraduates’ narrative intelligence and writing self-efficacy in fostering their story creation design and development.

“…The emergence of contemporary large language models (LLMs) and their remarkable text generation capabilities led to increased interest in assessing their value for a range of creative writing tasks [7], including data storytelling [18]. While this technology has the potential to fundamentally reshape the way people use writing tools [31], it also introduces news challenges such as unreliable outcomes, lack of domain understanding, prompt complexity, ethical concerns, among others [18].…”
