Stray Cat Strut AI-pocrypha - GPT-3 Written Epigraphs

AI-pocrypha - GPT-3 Written Epigraphs

Alright, so the following are all pre-chapter excerpts (epigraphs) created by a GPT-3 AI who was fed the entirety of Stray Cat Strut. Ive curated the selection a bit, since a lot of them were... nonsensical. Those which were nonsensical and funny remain. The rest, not so much.

Ive provided so comntary in italics below the AI-generated sections. Anything not in italics on this page was written by GPT-3.

Huge thank-you to Hazerdous1222, who... basically did all the work. I not only lack the ti to figure this out, I also lack the brains. Hazardous is sothing of an AI genius.

Also, to any of you who still think that writers wont be replaced by AI in the coming years... well, uh, bad news!

"Hacking for Dummies is a program where so of the better-liked celebrities and great people in the world today help to teach beginner hackers so that they can spend their ti ruining the lives of people across the globe."

This one broke the formatting a little, it was one of the first ti we tried to run the engine. Still, I thought it was pretty funny!

"The last ti the ti standard was updated, the world was still flat and full of dragons."

--The Historian, after replacing a New Ti standard with a Utter Bullshit Standard' during his tenure as head of the Bureau Of Standards in 1600 AD

This one is my favourite of the entire lot. Yes, its nonsensical, but its just absurd enough to be hilarious. I too, wished that we used UBS ti in our day-to-day.

"Foundation Class is for those that have shown themselves worthy to improve the world in ways not just through weaponry, but through technology and science.

Would-be Recruits of this Class must et certain Tier requirents as laid out below."

--from listing by Agent Ash Jason, Isodropensia Division N 572, 2052

I can kind of see where the AI pulled this one. Still, so parts are bizarre. Isodropensia... just isnt a thing. At all. It just flat-out made a word up.

We need a lot of firepower.

It's ti for an Air Strike!

Extrely sorry about the puns, but this is too good to pass up!"

--Anonymous International Collateral Damage Prevention Kit comrcial, 2037-2038

If you cut off the third line, it might actually make for a great epigraph.

It's been three years now since the first mont when a woman could access her sexual health, and still no one knows exactly what that experience is.

The technological crew at DocTing decided to keep their favourite service close to the chest, hiring security for the triple digit billion dollar servers that power it.

While few know what goes on behind those screens, hardly anyone really wants to know."

--Excerpt from New York Journal of Sex Technology, March 2038

I have no idea what the heck this ans, but Im all for it. Also, DocTing? I dont know how the AI ca up with that na, but it seems like a plausible na for a fake dical corporation. Im pretty sure the New Your Journal of Sex Technology isnt a thing either. Creative!

"Off the grid, quiet, and as far as we can tell, non-human."

--Excerpt of conversation between Samurai and mbers of a Colombian Cartel, 2038

A bit short, but a really good example of an epigraph. This one has style and it shows that with only 24 words.

There are a lot of myths about Samurai and how they live. One is that they are all world-saving marvels, doing good deeds for the sake of the common folk. Another is that there will be talented but vampiric Saiara on top of their leaderless skyscraper fortresses, gathering to them gaggles of admiring girls who see them as powerhouses too great to resist.

And then there's Myalis, a near-omnipotent AI whose only weakness is being called fat. What she does with her ti couldn't be further from any of those things if she tried."

--Excerpt from "The Tales That Myalis Can

GPT-3 just flat out calling Myalis fat had cackling.

"There is a point when the thing you do needs to stop being sothing special. At that point, if you are lucky, it becos part of your identity."

Well, thats just inspiring.

"Open cities that stay open.

This is the goal of our second project, to establish a region of world wide plural governance, democracy and freedoms for all.

Destroy and rebuild the barriers between us all! We can do it!!"

-- An excerpt from Viral's speech at a town hall virtual et-up during the second wave in 2052. A quote attributed to him since, even though he claims not to have said such an outrageous thing. Regardless, his political party did win a significant share of seats during that year's federal election cycle."

Ive seen the AI ss up the formatting a few tis, but this one is interesting, where the quote section tells you a lot more about the quote than the quote itself. Interesting divergence.

"Most of the ti, the VIPs that shuffle around are one-or-bother people. They exist for the sake of looking impressive to others and only need a few guards to get from A to B. The more important a person is, the larger their security needs."

--Myriam on Security Experts, 2020

Another decent epigraph. I can see this one existing in-story. It doesnt speak much of the human condition, but so of the epigraphs I wrote are similarly plain.

"Put bluntly, the public's trust in governnts and other entities is at an all-ti low. It's not just politicians who are losing their image with the public, it's anyone who has a governnt job in any aspect."

--The Vanishing Economist

Really digging the na The Vanishing Economist. Also, a decent epigraph.

"The easiest way to keep the peace, is to just raze everything

Everything a few kiloters on every side of them. Everyone ends up as anonymous bodies in a mass grave, no one wins. The cities stop making money so they can't afford to donate to the subhuman cause."

--Senator Alfred Von Grating, 2031

What a heartwarming statent! I can imagine a real senator saying sothing vaguely similar, so its a pretty spot-on SCS epigraph candidate.

"PLAYING AND CHEATING WITH PLAYERS

Manipulating the ga to defeat other players and manipulate the outco of the ga is considered a legal tactic. Allowed in-ga cheating and manipulation are entirely within the realm of how it should be, so long as exploitation exists within reason."

-- excerpt from A Gar's Guide: Playing StarCraft by Twinge Publishing Ltd., 2028

An interesting one. I recognize Twinge and the fake Twitch I created. I dont recall ever ntioning Starcraft in SCS, but the AI has access to plenty of public records that likely tie the ga to... well, gas.

"The nature of Flashes in the Dark remains one of the most controversial points of discussion for fans and critics alike. So claim that it's only a taphor, that there is nothing beyond symbolism, subtext and allusion. Others maintain with conviction that their artistic vision extends to their own philosophical beliefs and religious understandings. Still others refuse to lend any credence or gravitas to the issue."

--A Companion's Guide To Music & Pop Culture In 2046, 2047 Edition! (2047) chapter 5: The Sound Of Cri!

Sohow, a little ominous. Also, the Sound of Cri is a really cool na and Im stealing it.

And thats all for now. If you want to play around with the system, join my discord! The bots in one of its own channels.

If you want to support this kind of nonsense, then join OpenAI with a free account and send the apikey to hazardous1222#8826 on Discord! If you have any questions about the AI itself, then... ask them here, I guess!

This is going to be part one of two. Im working on so mini-interludes written with AI assistance. Well see how that turns out!
