Author Insights

Avast! Another prompt from our recent bionic brainstorming session emerges from the waves of the cybernetic sea. Chat GPT had much more success keeping the unexpected “subplot” consistent in this iteration, maybe because the output was shorter and generally simpler. Even so, as an experienced pirate I did find the content a bit too brackish for my tastes, and added extra salt where I thought it was needed - including a couple movie references for the wickies and cursed captains among our readers. Curious how well AI would do at allusions, especially if only a genre were specified rather than a specific piece of media - might put that to the test in our next Bionic installment!
