AI Training: AI Tutorial of the Day
Turn A Current Election Issue Into A Pixar-Style Short Film Script
One creative experiment I’ve been running on thareja.ai is asking AI to explain serious public issues through emotional, story-driven formats.
A Pixar-style short film is perfect for this; it forces the model to simplify, humanize, and tell a story rather than argue a position.
It’s also a great way to see how different models handle tone, pacing, and emotional intelligence.
Start a New Chat
Open thareja.ai and start a fresh conversation.
I like to keep each experiment in its own chat so the narrative voice stays consistent.
Switch Your AI Model
Click the ( + ) icon next to Automatic and select your model.
For this tutorial, I selected Claude.
Why Claude?
Claude tends to be especially strong at:
Emotional storytelling
Character-driven narratives
Gentle, reflective tone
That makes it a strong fit for Pixar-style writing.
Try This Prompt & Observe the Difference
Prompt used:
Turn a current election issue (such as voting access, cost of living, or misinformation) into a Pixar-style short film script. Use a small cast of relatable, non-political characters. Keep the tone hopeful, emotional, and easy to understand. Avoid political arguments, focus on human impact and resolution.
Model Used
Claude
AI Response (Excerpt)
In a quiet town called Ballotville, a small mailbox named “Chip” waited patiently on the corner.
Every year, Chip proudly carried messages that helped the town decide its future, until fewer envelopes began to arrive.
Confused and worried, Chip teams up with a forgetful clock, a busy delivery truck, and a determined young bird to make sure every message finds its way home before time runs out.
Together, they learn that participation isn’t loud or flashy; it’s built on small actions, shared responsibility, and showing up for one another.
Why This Experiment Works
When I tested the same prompt on GPT-4o, the script became more structured and visual, but slightly less emotional.
Claude leaned into warmth and character, making the message feel human rather than instructional.
This is exactly why I enjoy using thareja.ai, switching models instantly lets you explore different storytelling strengths without changing the idea.
Happy Prompting!

AI-Generated Image of the Day
Prompt: Create a cinematic, ultra-realistic image of an AI-powered teaching assistant helping university students during late-night study hours. The AI appears as subtle light projections and digital annotations, not a human figure. Mood should feel supportive, calm, and practical. Ultra-HD realism, modern academic setting.
Tip: the more specific the better
With Thareja.ai’s flexible model switching, creative exploration becomes more focused. Each model brings something unique, yet Nano Banana consistently leads in visual impact.
