In 2023 I started writing a sci-fi book about what I think'll be the future of AI. To become more trusting of my writing voice, I've been writing short stories. I just finished a short that I'm extremely proud of.

I've been using AI to help me develop writing prompts to isolate an aspect of writing I want to focus on.

The prompt was:

"In a near future, every human thought, word, and emotion is automatically archived in a planetary database. Two people meet in a quiet maintenance station — one is The Archivist, tasked with deleting redundant memories to reduce storage load; the other, a visitor, has come to plead that a specific set of memories not be erased."

This post's link will take you to the short story that emerged.

I ended up getting way deep into curiosity of the diversity and history of languages. What started as a comment about the history of English, turned into various paragraphs. I became so fascinated with the language that I ended up literally writing a research paper at the end of the short story, complete with 37 citations.

I hope you enjoy the read, and stay tuned for when the sci-book is released (fingers crossed within a couple months).
