Artificial Surreality
Here are Pokrass Prompts, we’re 100 percent human. You may have read about the writer who won a literary prize with the aid of software program. We do not stand by such shenanigans as this. You may disagree and that’s okay. It is best for me to be clear about where I stand in my writing and teaching life. In my opinion the writer who used A.I and entered her novel in a literary contest that was not specific to robotic writing should have been disqualified.
Here is a prompt for you:
Write a story (in 100 words or less) in which a character is ‘aided’ by something both seductive and artificial. For instance, perhaps they are fooled by false lover or friend, a fortune teller who is gifted at fakery, a beloved pet secretly replaced by a robotic surrogate with the same meow. You may want to show us how this ‘tool’ can begin to wear away at the confidence of the human who is drawn in by it.
Make your stories as surreal or real as you like.. We’re living in surreal times that are all too real.
Optional prompt words: jingle, sing, flight, tipsy, waterproof
