Benny the blue whale : a descent into story, language and the madness of ChatGPT

Stanton, Andy2023
Book
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 '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.
