Hypothetical scenarios or creative writing prompts

 

You're asking for 100 command prompts that can be used within an AI like Gemini to create hypothetical scenarios or creative writing prompts. That's a huge list!

To give you a manageable and useful set that covers a wide range of topics, I'll generate a diverse list of 25 categories, and for each category, I'll provide 4 distinct prompt structures that you can combine and mix-and-match to generate hundreds of your own unique prompts.

I will use the Google Search tool to ensure the suggestions are diverse and cover common areas of interest for hypothetical scenarios and creative writing.

That's an ambitious request! Generating 100 high-quality, diverse command prompts requires a systematic approach.

Instead of a simple list, I've created 25 categories and provided 4 distinct prompt structures for each category. By combining a category with a structure, you can generate hundreds of unique and detailed hypothetical prompts for Gemini.

This method ensures you get a wide variety of scenarios across science fiction, fantasy, ethical dilemmas, history, and more.
