"BINARY" Finale is Here! · 4:36pm Aug 20th, 2016
On a day that will no doubt be filled with a bunch of Changeling-based stories, I figured I better get this one out early. Brace yourselves for the finale of BINARY!

BINARY: Chapter 4, "Singularity"
Unless you spend all of your time reading fanfiction and never look at the science and technology news, you will have probably picked up that Artificial Intelligence is a hot topic right now. There is no better time to be a top computer science graduate with a PhD in machine learning techniques. Google, Facebook, and other tech giants will sign you up with a huge starting salary, in the expectation that real breakthroughs are imminent, and will lead to algorithms able to directly communicate
AnonPencil ran a few Moonie shorts through one of those predictive text bots that then writes its own story. The bot can be found here and the rest is just the bot's work.
You know what I would love to see?
If someone created an endless Equestria twitch stream AI show where the ponies are moving around Ponyville and AI generates everything what the ponies are talking to each other. There could be few locations where the ponies can travel and then some placed cameras around different areas.
If someone created this, I would definitely watch it!
A new series is starting up soon with a Pilot Chapter being released first to see what the response is before I devote more time to it. As you can see, it's heavily-inspired by Friendship Is Optimal (a story which I'm halfway done reading) with no connection to it whatsoever. Celestia's reasons for what she's doing is completely different than FIO so there'll still be that mystery to discover, in addition to the mystery of the main character's backstory.
ChatGPT is not the droid you are looking for. It has no comprehension, just building blocks, rules and examples to copy. Story telling is an adventure of the mind. You become the story, you become the characters, you live what they live and write it down.
So, a good long while ago, an awesome reader named Ianon very graciously gifted me a video game called "The Fall," via Humble Bundle. (Which was super nice. Ianon, you're awesome. ) He stated that it was right up my alley because it was about robots (and, spoiler alert he was right!). Check out the trailer and then head below the break to find out what I thought about it!
The latest updates that you have made to your phone software make it really less user-friendly. Sort of like the constant YouTube updates which make it harder and harder to use. My own new phone has no headphone jack. I guess 2017 means that you’re a caveman if you like the older, corded headphones still. Bluetooth doesn’t sound as good and is a pain in the ass to hook up? Hah, Google says.
Given the response to the previous blog, I decided to expand upon the Clockworks in a further post. I do want to stress, however, that my initial idea did not have Rainbow Dash be one of these artificial ponies. I just chose that artwork because I liked it.
To head off any possible confusion, I've added a clarification to TEEE's story page and a note at the top of the chapter explaining that TEEE was not written using LLM generative AI (the story actually predates this technology by several years).

Yesterday I decided to investigate this Chat GPT thing that I now hear so much about. And wow—this technology has really moved on since I last looked at it. We now have an AI engine which, given a simple prompt, will write a story for you in seconds.
This is the first conversation I had with it:
What is antimatter?
For fans of my trash Dove story or using AI creatively or just weird pigeons, I present neural network generated pigeon breeds, curated by Janelle Shane and illustrated by Rosemary Mosco:

I highly recommend signing up for this website's newsletter wherein Janelle Shane uses neural networks to do generally silly things. It's pretty great.
The life lessons we learned this week:
-Cicadas are loud. This year is a rarity, multiple cicada broods have emerged, something that hasn't happened since 1803. The police are powerless to stop horny insects.
-Don't smuggle drugs of any kind. Drugs are bad. Mm-Kay? If you are going to smuggle drugs in your car, obey all the traffic laws so you don't get pulled over. Also: Holy shit! That's a lot of heroin!
Okay, well, a bit. I'm not super focused on on story right now. I've started a bunch, but never really finished anything. But a couple of nights ago I started this:
Two sleepless nights, and only 700 words. But I can't not think about my ideas for it.
I was playing around with 15.ai and I put some dialogue from a thing I'm working on in it. It came out completely perfect. So I made a tiny video.
Art by me.
Edit: I've been censored. This kind of thing happens to me a lot actually.
Edit edit: Okay it's back.
How is almost nobody talking about how AI is going to throw our moral, ethical, and legal systems into complete and utter fucking chaos over the next few decades?
Especially with sex and porn holy shit.
So I won't lie, all of what I'm gonna show to you is made using AI. But I'm not using these as the "Finished looks", but these are more of concepts, as I'm terrible at drawing, and don't have cash to pay someone to draw them. But this is the main idea:
ChatGPT is scary powerful. A great example is to ask it to write a sonnet about the topic of your choice, from the French Revolution to Mushrooms to Roller Coasters. Of course, it is far from perfect and very not-illegalist. Read on for Pinkie NOT selling cocaine.

Okay so I came across an AI story generator, and normally I would never do anything like this with AI, since some don't like AI, also since FIMFIction doesn't allow AI Stories, and anyway, as much as I like AI, let's face it, AI can be really horrible sometimes. Let's get into this first I start with what I didn't like about it. Well first of all it wasn't really written as fanfiction, it was more like a review of fanfiction, than the story, It's full of mistakes, (I tried to fix what I could
