I've already finished a draft of my story. It's a little on the long side (roughly 1300 words) so I have to decide whether or not to edit it down or keep it as it is. It definitely went in an unexpected direction but that's why this is so much fun!
With the arrival of this month’s highly anticipated prompt, I want to make all of you aware of something that crossed the diminutive span of my fleeting attention recently. I believe that this is important to take note of, my co-fictionators, so that is the reason I have so ungraciously hijacked this thread.
I just recently discovered that there are sites on the WWWW (Wonderful World Wide Web) in which they use AI (Artificial Intelligence) to generate stories from your suggested suggestive suggestions. For instance, if you type in wiggly bits, let’s say, the AI (Artificial Intelligence) engine will poop out a story on, you guessed it, things that go bump in the night. Or a Jell-o casserole. Or whatever. My point is, it just ain’t right.
Ladies and gentlemen, I find this new technology highly disgusting and repugnant and… (hold on while I check thesaurus.com) …and revolting. It’s bad enough that AI (Artificial Intelligence) has reared its ugly, little head (and believe me, it’s just plain hideous) into our daily, everyday lives. From your toaster to your light switches to your automobile to your electric cattle prod, you can’t do a dang thing without some computer halfway around the globe making decisions for you. Or against you! Remember HAL 9000?
In my not so humble opinion, AI (Artificial Intelligence) has ruined, or is about to ruin everything. It beats you at chess and checkers. It decides what temperature your house should be. It even drives your gosh dern car! When was the last time your wife was using her electronic personal vibrating device to, uh… scramble some eggs, and she expected the Midnight in Paris setting, but instead, she got the very surprising and ultra-powerful Spring Break Miami setting, because It thought she might enjoy it. Jeez, what a mess!
And now It wants to write stories?!? I tell you, my scribing friends, this won’t stand. We can’t have this sort of blasphemous behavior in our beloved, little community. I, for one (and I encourage every last one of you to do the same), am taking a vow, with my right hand raised and my left on a first edition of The World According to Garp. I solemnly promise to you, my fellow Fictioniskers, that I have never and will never use AI (Artificial Intelligence) in my writings. I can wholeheartedly assure you, my dear Fictionatics, that there will be zero intelligence in my stories!
Thank you for your attention in this matter. Stay pure!

Ooooh pinball! I will have to check out the deeds!

What in the world did they have against pinball? It seems so innocuous....
I'm in for this one please, looking forward to seeing what people come up with.
