That was fun. But not as filling as your written stories. I guess I am stuck as a reader instead of a watcher.

And I as a writer, because whew, this took a lot of work for tiny result. I could have written a full shirt story in the same time. Still fun though.

OK, wow. I don't want it to go to your head so I left wow in lower case instead of all caps.

None the less great job! :-)

LOL! I will try not to get a swelled head. This was a fun little project, it is kind of amazing the tools I have at my disposal. Just to play around, and get this? Yeah, wow.

Glad you liked it! I was afraid I'd gotten carried away by my whimsy.

This is really cool! I have some idea of the work involved, and thought this turned out very well. Especially liked the twist ending where he decided the only winning move is not to play.

I love the door to the basement. The young man ignores the latch on the left side, opting instead for the lever which opens the door the wrong way - leading to a different destination.

Well, that is one way to explain it!

The AI really doesn't understand... well, anything, but especially architecture.

I can't help notice various inconsistencies, like what time period is this set in? The cottage's architecture is stereotypically medieval, yet it has electric lighting and the kitchen has modern appliances.

Modern period.

A big part of the struggle is wrangling the machine, incapable of thought, but this teller thinks the real nasty thing is how unsuited the user interface is on most of these things. Was quite impressed with the results of inputting photos of sculptures, just don't have the time to wrestle with it right now.

Very charming piece and in theory more specialist forms shall come about in time.

Said it before in other places, but there's a great irony that contrary to pro and anti views, the "AI" is so dependent on fine tuned human direction.

Well, if you want more than cat memes.

it's a tool. All tools have learning curves - even a hammer does, if you want to avoid permanently flattened thumbs.
