You may have noticed all the concept art I have been posting. I have been playing around with AI generated art for a while now and you have seen some of what I have done in previous posts or maybe in my books. I have also recently started playing around with AI chat. I'd like to share some of what I have done while playing around with it. Here are a couple of short stories I had it write for my kids which I then had the AI turn into fill in the blank stories that I did with my kids. It was a lot of fun.
Now the following were made quickly with simple prompts. Using prompts with more detail and with drafting they could come out much better.
Here is the one for my son:
Alien Tour Adventure
Once upon a time, in a future not too far from now, there was a curious and adventurous 10-year-old boy named Richard. He had always been fascinated by space and all the wonders that lay beyond Earth. His dream was to explore the galaxy and discover new planets and life forms.
One day, Richard's dream became a reality when he was given the opportunity to take a tour of the solar system on a state-of-the-art spaceship. The ship was equipped with the latest technology and was capable of traveling at incredible speeds.
As they journeyed through the solar system, Richard marveled at the breathtaking views of the planets, each with its unique features and mysteries. They visited the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, with their massive swirling storms and many moons. They flew past Uranus and Neptune, the ice giants, with their frigid temperatures and blue hues.
But the most exciting part of the journey was yet to come. As they approached the Kuiper Belt, the ship was suddenly intercepted by a group of alien spacecraft. Richard's heart raced with excitement and fear as he saw the strange beings approaching.
To his surprise, the aliens turned out to be friendly and invited Richard and his team to visit their home planet. Richard eagerly accepted the offer, and they soon arrived at a world unlike any he had ever seen.
The planet was covered in lush forests and sparkling oceans, with towering mountains and colorful skies. The aliens were unlike any life forms Richard had ever encountered. They had elongated limbs and glowing eyes, and communicated telepathically.
Richard spent several days exploring the planet with the aliens, learning about their way of life and culture. He was amazed by their advanced technology and peaceful way of living. He felt a deep connection with these beings, even though they were so different from him.
Eventually, it was time for Richard to return home. The aliens bid him farewell, promising to stay in touch and inviting him to visit again in the future. Richard boarded the ship, his heart filled with gratitude and wonder for the incredible experience he had just had.
As the ship zoomed away from the alien planet, Richard gazed out the window, dreaming of the day he would return and explore even more of the vast universe.

Madelyn's Unicorn Adventure
Once upon a time, there was an 8-year-old girl named Madelyn who loved to read stories about magical creatures, especially unicorns. She would spend hours lost in the pages of her favorite books, dreaming of one day encountering a unicorn of her own.
One day, while playing in the woods near her house, Madelyn stumbled upon a clearing that she had never seen before. In the center of the clearing stood a beautiful white unicorn with a shimmering silver horn. Madelyn couldn't believe her eyes - she had finally found her very own unicorn!
The unicorn introduced herself as Grace and explained to Madelyn that she was on a mission to save her magical world from an evil sorcerer who was trying to destroy all of the unicorns. Madelyn was determined to help, and together she and Grace set off on a magical adventure through enchanted forests and over sparkling streams.
As they journeyed deeper into the magical world, Madelyn and Grace encountered all sorts of obstacles, from mischievous fairies to treacherous trolls. But with her courage and quick thinking, Madelyn always found a way to overcome each challenge, and Grace was grateful for her young friend's help.
Finally, they arrived at the sorcerer's castle, where he was preparing to cast a powerful spell that would destroy all of the unicorns forever. Madelyn and Grace raced into action, using all of their magic and wit to outsmart the sorcerer and save the unicorns.
In the end, Madelyn and Grace emerged victorious, and the unicorns of the magical world were safe once again. Madelyn knew that she would never forget her incredible adventure with Grace, and she treasured the memory of their magical journey forever. From that day on, Madelyn always knew that no matter what challenges she might face in her life, she would have the courage and strength to overcome them, with a little bit of magic and a lot of heart.

I am seeing a lot of potential in using AI for creative output. For some people that have a high level of creativity but lacks the talents needed to express that creativity, AI might be the answer they are looking for.
