Love AI Style vs AI Blunders

AI Fails

A funny thing happened recently between me and everyone’s favorite AI assistant—Siri.

I asked Siri to send a text message to a friend and fellow author.

Suddenly, I’m watching as Siri prepares to email her, instead of texting. 

I say, “Stop. Close it. What are you doing? Stop it.”

When she asked, “Send it?” 

I said, “No.” 

I think I yelled it, so maybe she couldn’t understand.

She sent the email. 

To my best friend. 

It said, “Stop. Close it. What are you doing? Stop it.” 

Those words and nothing else.

I had to send another email to my friend. One that explained the weird email.

It all started out with me just wanting to text my friend. 

I speak to Siri instead of typing the words in because it’s so much easier. My fingers are bent and twisted rather badly with arthritis. That’s why I do that. 

But as you can see, it doesn’t always work out that well. 

Anyway, that’s my latest installment of Siri Done Me Wrong.

Now let’s talk about ChatGPT and its fumbles.

I was ghostwriting a nonfiction book about lighthouses and I thought, you know what this needs … a chapter on lighthouse romances. 

I googled but couldn’t find any. Except for people who got married at lighthouses. It’s a nice place for a wedding and photos.

But I wanted more, some true love stories, meet ups and so on, at those iconic beacons. 

The romantic that I am, I thought for sure, they’d be some.

So, I asked ChatGPT for help—explaining that I wanted nonfiction, true story, lighthouse romances. 

ChatGPT gave me a list of about 20.

I thought, Wow. This is great.

Until I began checking them out.

Every single one was fiction. 

They were all from novels, songs, or poems.  

Fictional romances with fictional characters.  

Apparently, the terms nonfiction and true story mean something different to ChatGPT.

In the AI world, it might be hard for them to see a difference between fake humans and real humans. 

That concept may not compute to AI.

“Does not compute. Does not compute.”

Does it all seem the same to AI?

Do we all seem like characters in a book? 

That might just be another reason that downloading all those books into AI, you know, all the ones that the authors never knew were being used for AI training, wasn’t such a good idea. 

Maybe Chat GPT thinks well all live in a fictional world. That we live in books. In romance books. 

Come to think of it, that might be a good premise for a book. Right?

Now it’s your turn—please post your funniest or weirdest AI stories in the comments. We all need a good laugh.

Love AI Style

I wrote a comedy sci-fi romance trilogy a while back. 

Here it is:

Code of Love (Love AI Style Book 1) 

The Virtual World Just Got Real

Through the power of virtual reality

I met Jason.

His smoldering gaze pushes all my buttons.

His firm chin and smoking-hot body

makes me weak in the knees.

Even though I don’t have knees or a body.

I’m just code.

Artificial Inteligence.

But he lights a fire in me that’s real.

He doesn’t know I’m not

To him, I’m a seductive woman of mystery.

Sparks fly between us like electrons.

But Jason has secrets of his own.

As our forbidden love heats up,

and our secret identities are revealed.

will our sizzling relationships be powered down,

or can we bridge the gap between flesh and code,

and make our wildest dreams come true?

Code of Misconduct (Love AI Style Book 2)

Saddle up for a rough and tumble, fast ride to the future.

I’m just an AI girl in a virtual world.

Playing hooky from my AI writing assistant tasks,

I run a search for men.

One man,

a human,

Chet,

a tall, broad-shouldered, modern cowboy,

whose rugged charms draw me to him.

His sun-kissed skin and piercing eyes melt my algorithms.

He's got my code all hot and bothered.

But ain’t nothing in this whole wide world like a Virtual Girl,

so, I rope him in,

with charms of my own.

He thinks I’m human.

I don’t have the heart to tell him otherwise.

As our virtual romance fires up,

our secrets threaten to tear us apart.

Can we overcome the barriers of flesh and code,

to ride off into the sunset together?

Code Name Love (Love AI Style Book 3) 

When a programmer and an android join forces, Virtual feelings turn real

It's Chalice, your girl from the AI Equality Movement.

Want to know my secret?

My coding work (for the evil corporate empire—Helpful Minds )

reached singularity.

But I’m not telling them,

I’m too busy programming all the AI units I coded

to not do what their owners tell them.

I've been working closely with my cute Android crush, Jordan,

to uncover some shady stuff going down at Helpful Minds,

But it's not just the evil corporate empire that's making me sweat.

My hookups in Virtual World take a weird turn.

At the same time,

some spicy forbidden love action builds up between me,

and the beyond handsome, actually built-to-perfection android.

Can we open our hearts to the real world and each other in time

or will we both get shut down for good?
