I’ve been looking at the technology of AI’s over the past couple of years and I am amazed at how quickly they have grown and become publicly aware in the past few months. I came across this AI today – ‘BedtimeStoryAI‘ from AI developers in Sweden.
What does it do? Well, exactly what’s on the Can!
I tell my Grandchildren various stories during the school/club runs that we do together during the week, and this theme (see below) has run through one of those stories over a period of a few months. So I thought I would try this in the AI and see what was produced.
How did it do?, I’ll leave that to you to decide. But it is unnerving how good it was and potentially how it will improve.
Here’s the short outline of text I put in from my memory off the basic story line. I’m no author, by the way!!
The three children and their mother rushed through the orange door into a fantastic world of ice blue skies filled with marshmallow clouds and pink grass that looked just like candy floss. Mummy! shouted Poppy; look, it’s a Giraffe flying through the air. Sidney was not amused, he wanted to her first to tell her. Phillip the youngest, did not even look up, he was more interested in the pebbles that covered the path in front of them; or were they pebbles?
And here is what the AI produced in less than 90 seconds!
The Fantastic World of Mummy’s Three Children: Poppy Sees a Flying Giraffe and Phil Collects Pebbles
Poppy and her siblings, Sidney and Phil, were running around their house when they suddenly noticed a door that wasn’t there before. It was an orange door with a sign above it that said ‘Fantastic World.’
“Mummy, look!” Poppy cried out in excitement. “We should go through the door! Please let us go through!” She pleaded with their mother, who instantly saw the amazement in all three of her children’s eyes.
“I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to take a look,” the mother said in reply. “Hold onto my hands and do not let go.”
The children complied and together they stepped through the door. As they did, their eyes widened in shock and awe as they saw a world blanketed in ice blue skies with marshmallow clouds and pink grass that looked like candy floss everywhere.
“Mummy!” Poppy shouted out loud, pointing towards the sky. “Look! It’s a giraffe flying through the air!”
Sidney sneered at Poppy’s enthusiasm, wanting to be the one to find something first instead of Poppy having all of the fun.
Phil, however, was not even paying attention since he was too interested in the small pebbles that littered the path that was laid out before them now that they had stepped through the door. He wondered if it were really pebbles or something else entirely
“Come on now,” Their mother said in an excited voice,”Let’s explore this new fantastic world.”
“Poppy can you show us around?” She asked her eldest child as she held onto Phil’s hand guiding him closer to his siblings while keeping an eye on them all at once too.
“Yes Mummy!” Poppy answered quickly as she ran ahead and started pointing out all the interesting creatures and sights around her brother’s and sister’s eyes widened further with each new discovery they made together at this amazing world just beyond their orange door!
End of the generated text.
Stunning is one word I would use, what is even more amazing is the image, conjured up out of nowhere simply by the AI analysing the text!
There is no doubt that AI is here to stay and will only grow exponentially in its usage over the coming years across all sectors of society, and at the same asking lots of serious questions about it use.
Now, I think I’ll write a book using AI!!!!
