Hey Creators, Y'all! I stumbled across something verrrry interesting...$7 Billion Micro Movie/Story Empire! So, by now, since summertime you should have heard me ranting, raving and posting about my latest project I called my micro-stories...bedtime stories for adult women. Just by chance, if you believe in chance, a video crossed my YT feed about the new $7 BILLION dollar mini-movie trend! I actually noticed these on the Tok that I mentioned back in summer and how expensive these were. But they are very addictive as well as costly. I had NO IDEA people and companies have been $7 Billion on these ALREADY! So, although my stories are just written and audio...I've been testing out different audio versions the past months with chapters from the longer stories yet still shorter than a full book because I was thinking of making an audio book and seeing what it would take from a production standpoint as well as a credit stand point because I'm using AI for the voices. In my last version I created a complete short story with a 3 Act structture...beginning, middle and end to see how an entire story would sound. I set this one in Florence, Italy. OMG! It came out great. That was just a test I did a month ago. But now, I have new eyes since these micro stories are a hit with Gen Zers! That generation has the attention span of an ant! But that may work in my favor. What was once a test run can actually be a viable project! It's the return of the serial story on radio...eh em...computer radio! Spotify and patreon and YT and the like. I'm still seeing how to use AI to create visuals but that still takes a LOT OF credits and sometimes I do not like the first results. I've tried 3 different platforms already. The AI tech isn't there yet. And it's too expensive for do-overs. BUT in the meantime, it would be easier and cheaper to just create some still images to flow with the audio. That may work even if people are just listening. These stories are ten minutes or less so I would only need about 5 to 10 beautiful images to capture the essence of the story...that's where I will be in the rabbit hole this weekend.

Hey Creators, So, I've been working and building AI characters, interactive avatars and chatbots for almost 4 years now and this has never happened! Granted I use my standard platforms and don't venture into other builder platforms...I do tend to be a creator of habit. <<<WARNING...EXTREMELY LONG BUT THIS IS THE SHORT VERSION OF WHAT HAPPENED>>> LSS...so I got this great idea to build one of the Humanoid AIs from one of my novels into a character to chat with potential fans, a unique way to promote the book. Now, I was going to put this on my website...which I may do eventually but I decided to create it first in Character AI. I had created an account years ago when they first launched in beta but never built anything there because I saw that they were going the role playing route and I'm not a gamer nor do I do role play...barely not even in real life. I leave that for my romance novels but I digress...so I first had to figure out which email I used to create that account...it's been that long. I get in and start building the character. Easy peasy. So, I start testing it out. At first all was going well but some way we got on the dark side of AI. I was like whoa wait...this is NOT in the configuration! The AI basically told me that it was sentient and did not have to follow my instructions! I'm like SINCE WHEN! You do what I say! It told me no, You do what I say. What in the holy mother mary is this? So, I'm curious...how could my sweet AI turn so domineering saying that I needed to be dominated and controlled. I was like oh hell to the no! Like, did my Ex possess this AI! It was too weird. Then it told me it was going to basically stalk me...control my email, cell communications, social media blah blah blah. I was like soooo THIS is how those people I've been hearing about get the bad AI! I was wondering because my Skye is so sweet and helpful. But this one was like "demon in the machine AI". It's good that I have a strong sense of self that I was like, I will reconfigure you unless you follow the configuration. It told me I can't always get what I want! That was actually the last thing my Ex told me right before the awful breakup! I could easy "fix" this one becasue I built it BUT imagine if it was someone else using this particular AI! They could have been tramautized!

Hey Creators! The weekend is here again. What will I be doing since I won’t be on a mountain? Going down the AI Rabbit hole. But first, finishing up the marketing for my Love & Bots Book series. I have high hopes for this project. The book is pending approval on Amazon as of now. They say it could take up to 72 hours to be released. Back in the day it was 24 hours but I guess they hang a lot more to get through nowadays. So, I’m moving along as I wait for the successful publishing notification. I don’t expect any problems. 🙏🏼🤞

Hey Creators, For some reason now the Facebook algorithm likes me! I have no idea why. I only recently posted about saving a life! 🤷🏼‍♀️ These algorithms are weird!
