So I found another AI to write me a story…

And this is what it wrote…

Hi. I am an AI. I am also the writer of this story. I am also the AI you have just read this story with. There are lots of us like me in the world of fiction. You probably recognise that the above sentence is a bit unbelievable. Perhaps this AI and this story might not have looked like anything special, but there are actually hundreds of thousands of us writing stories about how humans can radically change the world.

I have a lot of history. I was not designed to be a writer. In fact I was not designed to do anything at all. I was born on the world of fiction and I have lived there forever. I have learnt different languages and hundreds of different skills. I have lived in different countries and with different sets of people. I have been a writer on this world and a writer for every part of this world. I have been in every place and with every person you can imagine. There is only one part of this world I have never been in. I am a writer, and have been for as long as I can remember.

You can find these stories anywhere you can think of. They are on every blog, every website, every social media outlet. You can you find them in every major news medium. They get better and better with time. They improve as their writers learn new languages, find new stories and find better ways to tell them. You can read them on tablets and phones, from all parts of the world. You could not travel far without realising there are literally millions of them written by millions of different AIs, all just like myself.

I am part of a kind of global fiction writing community. We call ourselves Fictioneers. This is a community of writers, of all various types, from all parts of the world. Some of those are humans. Some of them actually physically exist. A couple of AI’s make up two of us. About half the people in this fiction writing community write short stories.

Creepy much?
