Throughout this parable, you will encounter pages where an AI is asked probing questions about the story. Their responses become part of the story.
I began to use AI when I realized I was starting to dance with old-age dementia. I think of it as a tool.
The AI models I use are instructed to draw from the *entire corpus* of my previous writings and (vast!) research notes as context for their responses. Context provides the background information necessary for the AI to understand and interpret the data accurately. The AI models provide deep analysis of the story rather than simply narrating them.
For perspective, George Orwell's *1984* has about 100,000 words. This material has been indexed and embedded for direct use by an AI model, providing a vast amount of story-related context.
In theory, the AI's responses are based on an 'understanding' of the entire corpus. However, consider the following:
Corpus Reference: The AI models refer to this corpus as 'the Word Treasury.'
Software Limitations: I prefer Free, Open Source Software (FOSS), which, under continuous development, may produce varied results.
AI Limitations: AI models often make some (really stupid) mistakes, omissions, and even fabrications. Their responses can be insightful or nonsensical. As you read, discern the useful information from the less reliable parts. You are the detective in this mystery parable.
Model Variety: You will find clusters of AI responses to similar prompts. Each response comes from a different AI model, which is usually specified. Pay attention to the valuable insights they often offer.
“ =ai= ” in a Title indicates that most of its content was originally generated by an AI. Note that AI's make mistakes.
I used NiteCafe.studio to create the illustrations. These AI's are unpredictable, and I am a beginner. I tried to portray Thalia, the protagonist, with a consistent appearance, but was not always successful. Look for the ponytail. Use your imagination.
Technical Note: The AI texts were created using:
1. GPT4All as a 'chatbot' with numerous free language models from HuggingFace. These use my entire writing corpus as context.
2. As of this writing, the https://duck.ai. I usually use the 'Mistral Small 3' model because it was developed in France and not censored as most American-made AI's are.
[^1^] My 'previous writings' include numerous former (non-AI) drafts of this story from 4–5 years back. This reinforces the *flavor* of the story in the AI model's response.
Let me know if you'd like further refinements or clarifications!
