Your daily source of generative AI dystopian hallucination
Do you have that constant feeling we are all doomed? Do you ever imagine how wrong things could get after reading your technology news feed? Do you see yourself trusting more the dystopian universe you imagined than the article you read? Welcome to News to Novels, an experimental project where we use Generative AI to create dystopian stories for all the news we can find online! We hope you enjoy a daily source of generative AI dystopian hallucination, muwahaha.
I was never one for holidays, not since the world turned upside down. Thanksgiving, once a day of gratitude and family, had become just another day in the derelict landscape of our existence. But this year, something was different. As I sat huddled in the cold, listening to the crackling radio signal, I heard it Read more
It started like any other day, with the hum of my Roomba at my feet. As the sun streamed through the window, I sipped my coffee, oblivious to the fact that my world was about to be turned upside down. The news flashed across the screen, ‘Amazon’s iRobot purchase… formal competition concerns in EU.’ Little Read more
I’m staring at the screen, my eyes tracing the lines of code that are supposed to save the world. The AI, Cradle, is churning out sequences of proteins like it’s reciting the alphabet. It’s not the first time I’ve seen it, but it’s the first time I’ve understood what it meant. It’s the first time Read more
I never thought I’d miss Siri, but there I was, alone in the darkness, wishing for a familiar voice. The iPhone 15 Pro, a gleaming beacon of innovation, now sat heavy in my pocket. Its new ‘Action Button’ was supposed to be a game-changer, an upgrade. It was, in a way I never could have Read more
In the year 2097, the world was run by corporations, each more powerful than the next. The cityscape was a maze of towering skyscrapers, each a symbol of an entity that held more sway than any government. In the heart of this concrete jungle, a man named Arthur stood in the boardroom of ‘TechNova’, one Read more
My name is Maha Shahzad. I was 19 when I dropped out of junior college in Southern California. The reason? A soul-draining 6-hour daily commute. The freedom of mobility was a privilege I couldn’t afford. Fast forward a few years, and I find myself in Pakistan, spending half of my hard-earned salary on commuting. Unsafe, Read more
The moment my fingers brushed against the cold, sleek surface of the Knock Out II, I knew my life was about to change. A $300 groovebox that was more than just a cute gadget, it was a weapon, a tool, a symbol of freedom. In a world where music was controlled and regulated, this little Read more
The news hit me like a punch in the gut. Luko, the insurtech company I’d given my blood, sweat, and tears to, was up for sale. The parent company, Demain ES, had announced it with a cold, impersonal legal notice in the newspaper. Admiral, the supposed savior, had abandoned ship. Now, we were sinking, and Read more
I never thought I’d miss the hum of an engine, the thrum of tires against asphalt. But in a world where the only vehicles left are the silent, soulless Cruise robots, the absence of that familiar melody is a chilling reminder of what we’ve lost. I remember when the first email came, an internal memo Read more
The day I found out about Climate Alpha, my world changed. It was just another day in the office when the news popped up on my screen.
