Artificial Stories

Rafa Osuna

Summary

This book is not about short stories.

Well, it is, it’s not JUST a book about short stories. It is also about an experiment I had to do to make sure just where we stand when it comes to the level of creativity that current AI has. 

That’s why in this book you’ll find two types of short stories. Some are made by me, and some are made by an AI. For every short story, firstly, you will find the text written by me, and, immediately after, you will find another text with the same title, but written by the AI. The latter are based on the text by me where the AI decided to keep the theme, setting, problem at hand, or… whatever the program wanted in each case. 



I am responsible for the quality of my stories. You can (and should) criticize me.  After all, we’re talking about one of the first literary projects that I publish and I’m aware that I won’t win a Nobel Prize. But, what about the quality of the stories written by the AI? Read them, fabricate opinions. That’s what this experiment is about. Obviously, I have my own opinion, but I won’t talk about it, so it doesn’t change yours. You can find me on the main social medias and reach out, maybe our opinions will concur.

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.

Tender Betrayal

Rosanne Bittner

Stolen kisses and secret reunions lead to a passion that civil war cannot sever in this glorious historical romance from the bestselling author of Caress.   Beautiful, proud Audra Brennan feels like a stranger in a foreign land when she comes north from Louisiana to study music. But when she savors her first forbidden taste of desire in the arms of handsome lawyer Lee Jeffreys, his caresses spark a flame within her that burns away the differences between rebel and Yankee, all objections silenced by the fierce beating of two wild hearts falling impetuously, impossibly in love.   Suddenly cannon fire shatters the country. Principled, impassioned, and committed to a nation united, Lee answers the call to fight against the Confederacy, while Audra hurries home to a plantation shadowed by the darkening cloud of war. But in the most terrible of circumstances, can either afford to surrender their heart?   “Power, passion, tragedy and triumph are Rosanne Bittner’s hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears.” —RT Book Reviews
