AI: A New Era (2025)

[Aoife_from_Ulster]

I am still playing with an idea but I'll be damned if I can truly wrap my head around how to work it out. I swear i am thinking things through but I don't know if I will make the submission date.

I am working on finishing my Crime and Punishment and then the Halloween stories are right around the corner.

I am almost finished with my prose tribute to the AI/meat suit bond. Not knowing much about AI, research came first

I have that problem too Aoife, the story keeps growing and growing. 3000 words and still no smut in sight

I don’t think this theme of a story is meant to be for me, at least this year.

I have finally started to write my AI story. How would you format the text to show that it is text in an app? She is prompted to answer a few questions about herself. Multiple choice questions. This is one on the questions but I can't decide on how to do them in the text.

How do you spend most of your time?
Work/Study
Looking after others
Trying to stay afloat
Taking care of myself (or trying to)
I don’t know

I'm not entirely certain, but some basic html code can be used <em>Italics</em>, then there's <b>bold</b>. I've tried other ways of handling the text, but most of the other commands aren't allowed. (-B

Ill have to take a dive into the formating. I have settled into using italics whenever the AI speaks so you imediatly see the difference between the humans and the AI.

@secretLace If you submit your stories as plain text in the New Story textbox on the Lit site, I have a tool that might help with the italic markup.

Basically, you paste your plain text into my tool first, then you can highlight passages and format them using the toolbar buttons. It works similar to the way text is formatted in this (and other) forum posts.

When you're done formatting, copy to the clipboard and paste into the Lit New Story box.

There's a ? button on my tool's toolbar that will give you detailed help.

Maybe next year?

Thank you. I wrote it to help maintain my own sanity, but I'm happy to share.

Can I submit prose to the AI challenge?"
