This study describes how ChatGPT®, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) application, was used to generate a short story about the zoonotic disease Leptospirosis as part of the "Micro Epidemic One Health" Italian Health System Project, which focuses on storytelling and collaborative writing activities. The AI application was engaged to develop a story about a group of teenagers who contracted Leptospirosis after swimming in a river contaminated with the Leptospira bacteria, and what people can learn about zoonoses from this experience. The story was generated within seconds and was deemed plausible. It was then validated by veterinarians and linguistic experts to assess the medical assumptions and quality of English translation. The use of AI in writing and storytelling is becoming increasingly feasible, with the platform capable of transforming data into true stories. The quality of responses generated by AI applications can be considered good, and the reader may not even notice the text's artificial origin. Advantages of this process include speed of execution and suggestions provided by the AI. However, its use cannot take place independently, and experts must provide more technical information for implementation.

Abstract
This study describes how ChatGPT®, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) application, was used to generate a short story about the zoonotic disease Leptospirosis as part of the "Micro Epidemic One Health" Italian Health System Project, which focuses on storytelling and collaborative writing activities. The AI application was engaged to develop a story about a group of teenagers who contracted Leptospirosis after swimming in a river contaminated with the Leptospira bacteria, and what people can learn about zoonoses from this experience. The story was generated within seconds and was deemed plausible. It was then validated by veterinarians and linguistic experts to assess the medical assumptions and quality of English translation. The use of AI in writing and storytelling is becoming increasingly feasible, with the platform capable of transforming data into true stories. The quality of responses generated by AI applications can be considered good, and the reader may not even notice the text's artificial origin. Advantages of this process include speed of execution and suggestions provided by the AI. However, its use cannot take place independently, and experts must provide more technical information for implementation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
