PROMPT: Grudge
No, but it sounds like fun — starts with a “GRR” and rhymes with “fudge.”

PROMPT: Traveled from Home
Daily writing prompt
Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.
”Home” and “away” lost all meaning long ago, becoming a false dichotomy. “Furthest” is likely presumed to mean the most distant in space, but that is not always the greatest mental distance. Sometimes a place changes while you were away, and that shift through time becomes the most jarring distance.

PROMPT: Ideal Home
Big enough to live in it; small enough not to live for it.
Preferably, it teleports on a regular basis, so I don’t have to — you know— live in one place for the rest of my life.

PROMPT: Habit
Daily writing prompt
What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life?
I poop. Surely, I would have exploded in my youth if I hadn’t developed the habit. I feel my quality of life as a human must be better than the quality of life of gut bacteria in wall-spattered fecal matter. At least I have the leisure and capacity to contemplate such things.

PROMPT: Searched for Online
Daily writing prompt
What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?
I ask AI what kind of economic system can work when machines / AI do virtually all productive tasks better than humans — such that humans can no longer sell their labor for money to buy goods and other services. (i.e. the backbone of economies as we’ve known them.) I ask because it’s an extremely important question whose answer is completely without precedent. Those who say it’ll be like a new, bigger, better Industrial Revolution are full of shit. It was not hard to imagine the work domain left to humans during the Industrial Revolution- unless you were a proper Luddite. When we hit the aforementioned inflection point, however distant it may or may not be, it will be an entirely different matter.
It’s a little like asking a real estate developer what will happen to you and your neighbors when they tear down your subdivision to build a golf course, but the AI is a little less defensive. When the AI is equally defensive, we’ll know we’re screwed.

Andy Griffith Show, Carol Burnett Show, Dick Van Dyke Show… wow, they were not creative with names in those days.
