Sometimes I wonder if there's a story in a prompt, so I ask an AI model to write it. Each story here includes the original prompt and which model generated it-whatever model I felt like using that day.
Prompt:
Write a short story where a small team invents time travel and they naturally go back in time to kill Hitler. In attempting to do so, they would break causality because without the desire to kill Hitler they would've never made the time machine. Hijinks endue in the past.
Prompt:
Write a short story about a monster that attacks humanity and then disappears. The world unites in peace knowing it must pool resources and build a common defence in the event the monster returns. When it does, facing down the huge modern arsenal of modern human development, it dies almost immediately to a couple shots from a mid-tier weapon. The world is in shock, and now we don't know what to do with our uniting threat gone.
Prompt:
Write a short story about a world in which gold is mined by picking your nose. It's still used in everything but its abundance means it doesn't have the value it once did. Large factories where people pick their nose all day exist.
