Benny the Blue Whale - A Descent...

Andy Stanton

A bestselling author and AI team up to write a novel. Chaos ensues.

AI is changing the world at frightening speed. A bestselling author decides to find out more…

Is ChatGPT the end of creative industries as we know them? An ethical quagmire from which there is no return? A threat to all our jobs, as we keep hearing on the news?

Bestselling children’s author Andy Stanton has made a career out of writing differently – from the unconventional ‘hero’ of his bestselling Mr Gum series to his penchant for absurdist plots, his children’s books are anything but formulaic.

When a friend introduces him to ChatGPT, the new large language chatbot, Andy is as sceptical as he is curious. Can this jumble of algorithms really mimic the spontaneity of human thought? Could it one day replace human authors like him for good? And are we soon to be ruled over by despotic robot overlords.

He decides there’s only one thing for it – he must test this bot’s capabilities. Eventually, he settles on a prompt that will push the algorithm to its creative limits: ‘tell me a story about a blue whale with a tiny penis.’

Chaos ensues.

What follows is a surprising and illuminating battle between Andy and ChatGPT that maybe, just maybe, might help us all understand AI a little bit better. Join Andy and his beleaguered AI lackey on a rollicking metafictional journey through the art of storytelling. Presenting his prompts and the AI-generated narrative alongside extensive commentary, Stanton provides a startling paean to the art of a good story and boundless human creativity. Hopeful and hilarious, Benny the Blue Whale provides a joyfully anarchic meditation on AI, literature and why we write.

I Am Cosmic Mind

Michael Mathiesen

I Am Cosmic Mind is the third book in the 'Save The World Series'.  The total knowledge gained here provides us with a new pathway through the evolution of the human species, because our present species - Homo Sapiens - has led us to the verge of extinction.  A Cosmic Mind lies within us all and is helping our next iteration emerge - 'Homo Planetae' or 'Man of The Planet' begins humanity's next branch of Evolution. 
The first book in the series - How To Turn Back Time describes how Time flies about the universe in waves, for which I hope to win the Nobel Prize in Physics someday.  Everyone experiences waves of good and bad events the crests and the troughs of the time waves in our lives.  
The only question left in my mind was - 'Where do these waves originate'.  For ocean waves, we know they come from the other side of the planet where the wind whips them up and they travel all around the planet.  For Time Waves, they must originate somewhere in the middle of the universe where other forces whip them up and blow them all over the place until they land in the events that make up our lives.  The answer to this question came to me in 'I Am Cosmic Mind' and are published here for all to see.  
Then, more recently, I discovered that within our lives Time Waves are things I call 'Time Point Certainties' - These can be likened to the subatomic particles that carry up all other forces in the universe.  So, now we know that there are Time Waves that create a Time Field that is the flux that holds all other fields together in a 'Layer Cake' kind of assembly.  Inside all of this are points in time, like the one you are witnessing now that are the most important points of time you can recall.  All of this was designed by and is always maintained by a Cosmic Mind - who speaks to us all here.
