Can artificial intelligence be a creative partner, a literary sparring companion, or even—dare we say—a muse? In AI and I, Monica Levert embarks on a hilarious, thought-provoking, and unpredictable journey into AI-assisted storytelling. What begins as wry scepticism soon morphs into a full-fledged collaboration—part competition, part creative chaos—between human wit and machine precision, blurring the line between authorship, automation, and absurdity.
Through a fusion of personal anecdotes, literary parodies, and absurd experiments, this book takes readers on an exhilarating ride across Sicilian roads where traffic signs are more suggestion than law, tempestuous seas navigated with comic ineptitude, and dance floors where rhythm is a matter of survival—all reimagined through the voices of literary giants. Shakespeare, Umberto Eco, T.S. Eliot, Joseph Conrad, and even Aristophanes join the party, as AI attempts to mimic, twist, and occasionally outwit the greats—with Monica Levert at the helm, sometimes amused, sometimes horrified, but always in on the joke.
At its heart, AI and I is more than just a collection of stories. Structured as a literary masquerade ball, each chapter follows a brilliantly orchestrated pattern: a real-life episode, its AI-generated reincarnations in the style of iconic writers, and a deep dive into the mechanics of parody and pastiche. The result? A playful yet profound meditation on creativity, authorship, and the uneasy alliance between human imagination and machine-generated prose.
Whether you’re a literature lover, an AI sceptic, or simply someone who enjoys a masterfully executed literary experiment, this book offers a rich, satirical, and delightfully mischievous exploration of what happens when human storytelling meets artificial audacity.
AI and I is available on Amazon for Kindle or as paperback.
