50 Non-sensical AI-generated Stories

By Dilith Jayakody

In this world, where AI-generated stories are extremely logical, it's a breath of fresh air to come across an AI that spouts out absolute nonsense, just like the good old times. This book is a hat-tip to these models that lead to the language models of the modern era.

 

Not only will you be entertained, but you'll also find inspiration for your own writing as you explore the unique narrative structures and plot twists generated by the AI. This book will spark your creativity and open your mind to new possibilities in writing and storytelling.

 

P.S. - Fun fact: the above paragraph was also generated by AI! But don't worry, the one you're reading now was not AI-generated... Or was it?

P.P.S. All images in the book are also AI-generated, including the images of the cover page.

2. E-waste

The peasants of the village on top of the hill always had a large dragon in their town square. The dragon used to be alive and they would feed it live chickens and sheep. The dragon would then vomit up gold coins or pearls for the people to take. One day, the people had enough of their dragon. They locked it up in an old abandoned tower and left it there until it died.

Years passed by and the people forgot about their dragon. One wintery night, a baby neared death as he had no way to keep warm. A peasant found him in the snow and took him home to care for him while they awaited his father's return.

That night, an idea struck her that she should take her son's baby blanket to wrap up the little one with, never expecting that the blanket was made from very special material from an Ewaste weaving factory—a place where most of our electronic waste ends up before it gets processed into something new.

The next morning, the blanket was in such bad shape, the baby was dead and his father had never returned. The woman felt guilty for her son's death and took up a job to make amends.

She worked as a cleaner at an Ewaste weaving factory and so was able to save all sorts of electronics that otherwise would have been thrown away. And because she saved so many electronic items, she was able to find many of the components from them which she then put together to make a new device. She took these devices and sold them on the black market for profit and was able to support her family by doing this. She also had enough money saved up so that she could buy herself a new computer in order to start her own business.

3. Story-ception

Comment: As I was writing this story, I felt as if this was another story that was going nowhere. Right as I was going to give up, a character started saying their own story. I found it to be quite interesting

The day started as any day would. However, it wasn't long before I realized something wasn't right. I was growing more impatient as each day went by. When I got out of bed, I was so stiff that it took me a moment to rise and get out of bed, and when I reached my hands up, I couldn't really feel my fingers very well.

I didn't think much about it at first. After all, this is what happens when you aren't working. As time went on though, I began to have a more pressing concern on my mind.

My dad was always so excited when he got his weekly hours. But, on April 24, 2017, he had his hours cut off. My mom tried her best to be positive and not give him a hard time, but I saw something that day that gave me great worry. Every time I see my dad, he always reminds me of the big stories I learned from him growing up. We would sit around my family's dinner table and laugh about the crazy things he did or the stories he made up about my grandmother. He always had us going; he never wanted to stop.

There was one story in particular that sticks out in my mind. A story of a time when his father was just a teenager, in the year 1953. For some reason, my mom didn't like the story. She said it made her feel as if it were a cruel joke. So, after dinner, she decided to tell it to me:

My dad and my Uncle Charlie had a great story to share. To tell the kids about their real-life hero, the man who saved their life. So she started to read the first few lines. "He was the son of an old man, a mechanic by trade, who lived on the edge of town. He was in love with my grandma. Her name was Betty. Growing up at home, on a farm, our parents rarely allowed us to talk about Betty and her father because it seemed as though they did not approve of our love for her.

One night, Betty came to the house. She had been wandering around since she had stopped eating for a year. Her parents had told her she was too old to live on the farm anymore. Betty had always been the one to go to, because she loved to help with chores and help her parents with their chores. That night however , the family was having a good time talking about the end of their farm life. Uncle Charles was telling how Betty's father had left them, saying he was going away. When Betty heard this, her dad just laughed and said 'Don't worry, son, we'll always have you.' And 'No, no, my son,' said Betty, as she placed her hand on her heart and cried tears. Then she continued her story, telling him
