The Hitchhiker's Guide to Bears
I asked AI to write a story about bears being more attractive than men, and after having a few Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters, this is what it came up with. (This is also a precautionary tale about how pretrained AI's might use a LOT of copyrighted material!)

Howard Bubski Explains Why He Is Safer Than A Bear In the Forest
You have probably read the headlines: "90% of women would prefer to be alone in the forest with a bear than with a man." The same people who wrote these headlines also say one in three women have experienced being physically threatened by a man.

As someone who faced numerous frightening YouTube copyright strikes and takedown notices over the year for using pop songs in my videos, I was astounded to discover that what was once forbidden is now fully permissible and even endorsed in YouTube Shorts videos.

The Encore (Part 1)
My police cruiser hurtles down the I-93. I get off every few exits to make sure I’m not being followed. After our argument, Stevie took off in a huff. Thankfully, I haven’t spotted her behind me, following me like the FBI to pull me over and ask more questions.
