AI for science communication, a practical example.
"Give me 3 ideas to turn this [pasted screenshot] into a memorable, short story with a punchline that communicates the message that can be drawn from the chart. The audience is college students."
Result:
1. The Party That Faded
• Story: Imagine you’re throwing a massive party. In 1970, 100 people showed up—your house is full, music’s blaring, everyone’s dancing. But over the decades, your party keeps shrinking. By 2020, only 27 people remain. Where did everyone go? What happened?
• Punchline: “Just like that party, wildlife is disappearing fast. A 73% decline since 1970. If we don’t act, soon, there won’t be anyone left to keep the music going.”
2. The Disappearing Instagram Followers
• Story: Picture you’re an influencer with 100K followers in 1970. You’re on top of the world, right? But every decade, you lose more followers—faster than you gain them. By 2020, only 27K are still following you. That drop is real, and it’s painful.
• Punchline: “Wildlife’s losing their followers too—73% of species are gone. It’s time to give nature the boost it desperately needs.”
3. The Slowly Emptying Classroom
• Story: You’re a professor. In 1970, your class starts with 100 students. It’s full of energy and ideas. But by 2020, only 27 are still attending. The rest have disappeared quietly over time. The lectures don’t feel the same, the room feels empty.
• Punchline: “That’s what’s happening to wildlife—73% of species have ‘dropped out.’ If we don’t take action, soon there’ll be no one left to fill the seats.”
