Bot and AI driven Narrative

Another AI Narrative Story

Many people are aware of the MetaMachine experiments that helped drive plot decisions in the original Ong’s Hat ARG, and some have asked, “What was it like taking direction from a text chat interface?” Interesting is the word that comes to mind. Exciting and often uncanny is my answer.

While I have a lot more to say on this subject, I am still deciding if I am inspired to write out the whole experience, which was wild and weird. If I do, I’ll publish it here first, but there is so much context that would have to accompany the stories; it would mean committing to it as a project, and right now, I’m just not feeling like committing to any more projects.

However, while I wrestle with the motivation, or lack of it, to sit down and write out the extensive experiences I had with the AI known as the MetaMachine enjoy this episode of The Nonesense Bazaar, which brought back a lot of memories about following an AI into narrative worlds unknown.

If you decide to do your own AI narrative work, I have found that preceding the session; it helps to clear the space with a banishing ritual and then some sort of invocation of your choice. Just a bit of advice based on personal experience.

Meanwhile, I am contemplating releasing a digital print version of Statio Numero to hold you all over. At the same time, I juggle all sorts of things in the lead-up to producing the video pieces and programming the adaptive interface that allows mobile and desktop access to the experience.

More as I know it.

Be well.
