In a world where AI assists students with homework, universities make an unexpected policy change: AI usage becomes mandatory for all assignments. Students must submit their complete AI conversation logs alongside their work, and grades depend on their ability to effectively guide AI tools. Professors strictly enforce this policy, penalizing any direct human editing. “Everything must be done through AI,” they insist. As AI becomes mandatory, demand spikes and access becomes limited. Students face long queues or must pay premium prices for immediate access. Ironically, many students begin “cheating” by writing assignments themselves and fabricating AI conversations to satisfy the requirements. ...

Almost every day my wife retells me her dreams. “Honey, I had an interesting dream this night,” and she tells me a story with a twisted plot, bright visuals, and crazy dialogs. I thought, what if there was a device to record a person’s dreams? Something like a pair of earbuds that you place on the person’s head and download the last night’s dream. Then I imagined a company, or the whole industry that would sell a service to store your dreams in the cloud and make them available for rewatching. Please write a sci-fi story about it. I think there should be some attributes that we are too familiar with today: a 27-page license agreement that nobody reads, data leaks, account breaking on politicians’ and celebrities’ accounts, NSFW dreams, etc. “Honey, I had a very interesting dream recently, let’s watch it together… Oh, wait, sorry, that’s not the dream I wanted to show you… No, it’s not what you think, please don’t start…” ...

Recently we had a conversation about waves in fashion and how some things come back in style. I thought, “What if we had similar waves in technology? What if Fortran came back and become a popular language again?” As usual, I asked Claude.ai (Sonnet 3.5) to write a short story about it. “According to Stack Overflow trends,” announced CodeBuddy AI, “Python remains the most popular language for AI development, with PyTorch and—” ...

I noticed a “smart bed” in the store. I thought that there is no way they made the bed’s software without bugs. Hmmm… “bed bugs”… It might be a good wordplay and a good story, I thought. And I asked Claude.ai to write a story about it. Jim Randall hadn’t slept in three days. Not since the SmartRest™ firmware update. His $8,999 bed was supposed to be the ultimate solution - adaptive pressure mapping, temperature regulation, and AI-driven sleep optimization. Instead, it had turned into his personal tormentor. ...

We’ve been watching a Netflix show about a woman detective for a couple of weeks already. Yesterday was a special day: the Groundhod Day. We never miss the opportunity to watch this beautiful movie to celebrate the date. So we didn’t watch that show yesterday. Today, around 10 am I got a call on my cell phone. I asked Claude.ai to write a story about it. Steve stared at his phone. The show’s title blinked on the caller ID like a warning light on a malfunctioning machine. He knew he should let it go to voicemail. Any sensible person would. ...

We spent three days without internet. Well, not completely. Only without our normal 1 Gigabit Fiber. We could use our mobile hotspots, but pretty quickly we found out that there are bandwidth caps on them. We started thinking about saving bandwidth by not watching videos and loading what we don’t really need. I asked Claude.ai to write a story where internet bandwidth is a precious resource and people have to save it. Some people share the leftovers with friends and neighbors. ...

Let’s talk about another danger of AI chatbots. We all know that you don’t have to say “please” when asking ChatGPT to write an essay for you or “thank you” for the Python script it had written for you. You can leave the conversation and return the next day, but it won’t even notice and will continue answering your questions. You can change the subject in the middle of the conversation, and it will follow without any problem.This ruins our dialogue culture and our communication manners. What if we do the same to another human? I guess your relationship won’t last long with that person. ChatGPT spoils us, allowing us to be rude and impolite to it.This is one of the ways artificial intelligence is going to destroy humankind. We shouldn’t let it do it. ...

My car started giving me some strange sounds from the engine. I thought, “maybe it needs some rest” and didn’t use it for a few days. I would like to see cars that can heal themselves like humans and animals do. Just give it some rest in a quiet place, give it a lot of warm drinks, and it will heal itself in a couple of days. I asked Claude.ai to write a story based on it. ...

Today we had an Internet outage. People from AT&T Fiber told us it’s a big one. They said their had to repair a large backbone cable. I imagined how it might look like: two ends of a large cable with hundreds of fiber lines from each end, and they had to splice all them together. What would happen if they made a mistake and I started receiving somebody else’s Internet feed? I would see different movies and TV programs, my Facebook and Instargam feeds would show me different pictures and articles. etc. What else could go wrong? ...

Write a story about these two cats. The Siamese cat on the right is a girl, her name is Marcia. She is three years old. The boy on the left is 6 months old, his name is Leon. Marcia, the elegant three-year-old Siamese cat, was quite accustomed to having the entirety of the house as her domain. Every corner, every perch, every cozy nook was hers, and she’d basked in the attention of her humans. Her days consisted of lounging by the sunniest window, playing with her favorite toys, and indulging in luxurious naps. ...
