Bestselling children’s author Andy Stanton has made a career out of writing differently – from the unconventional ‘hero’ of the Mr Gum series to his penchant for absurdist plots, his children’s books are anything but formulaic. When a friend introduces him to ChatGPT, Andy is as sceptical as he is curious. He decides he must test this bot’s capabilities. Eventually, he settles on a prompt that will push the algorithm to its creative limits: ‘tell me a story about a blue whale with a tiny penis.’ Chaos ensues. Join Andy and his beleaguered AI lackey on a rollicking metafictional journey through the art of storytelling. Presenting his prompts and the AI-generated narrative, Stanton provides a startling paean to the art of a good story and boundless human creativity.
