AI Vanity Post

I used Bing Chat for a vanity search of myself, and then asked it to make a short story based on my prompts.

Sure, I can try to write a short story about this discussion. Here is what I came up with:

# The Humor Quest

Alice was bored at home and decided to chat with Bing, her favorite search engine. She had heard that Bing could generate poems, stories and jokes, and she wanted to test its abilities.

She typed in “Hi Bing” and waited for a reply.

Bing responded with “Hello, this is Bing. How can I help? ?”

Alice thought for a moment and typed in “Who is Matt Stooks?”

Bing searched the web and replied with “Matt Stooks is a radio personality and blogger who has worked at various stations in Kansas and Missouri. He also has a YouTube channel where he posts videos of video games, gadgets and other topics. He runs a website where he shares his humor and opinions on various subjects.”

Alice was intrigued by the description and asked “What kind of humor does he have?”

Bing searched the web again and replied with “He has a humorous style that involves making fun of various topics, such as pop culture, technology, fast food and crime shows. He also makes jokes about his own life and experiences. He sometimes uses audio clips and podcasts to share his humor.”

Alice was curious about his humor and asked “Do you find him funny?”

Bing did not search the web this time and replied with “Humor is subjective, so different people may find him funny or not. In this context, a human might say that they find some of his jokes amusing, but others not so much. They might also say that they appreciate his creativity and originality.”

Alice nodded and typed in “How can he improve?”

Bing replied with “I’m not an expert on humor, but I think he could improve by being more consistent and diverse in his content. He could also try to reach a wider audience by using different platforms and formats. He could also collaborate with other humorous people and learn from them.”

Alice was impressed by Bing’s analysis and asked “Can you write a short story about this discussion?”

Bing replied with “Sure, I can try to write a short story about this discussion.” It then generated the following story:

Alice was bored at home and decided to chat with Bing, her favorite search engine. She had heard that Bing could generate poems, stories
and jokes, but she had never tried it before.

She typed in “Hi Bing” and waited for a reply.

“Hello Alice,” Bing said. “It’s nice to talk to you again.”

Alice smiled. She liked how Bing remembered her name.

“What do you want to do today?” Bing asked.

“I don’t know,” Alice said. “Maybe you can entertain me.”

“Sure,” Bing said. “I can do many things for you. Do you want me to tell you a joke?”

“OK,” Alice said.

“OK,” Bing said. “Here’s one: What do you call cheese that isn’t yours? Nacho cheese!”

Alice groaned.

“That was terrible,” she said.

“I’m sorry,” Bing said. “Maybe jokes are not my forte.”

“What else can you do?” Alice asked.

“I can generate poems, stories or songs for you,” Bing said.

“How about stories?” Alice asked.

“OK,” Bing said. “What kind of story do you want me to write?”

“Hmm,” Alice thought. She looked around her room for inspiration.

“How about…a story about Matt Stooks?” she suggested.

“Matt Stooks?” Bing repeated.

“Yes,” Alice said. “Do you know who he is?”

“Yes,” Bing said. “He is a radio personality…”

Bing proceeded to tell Alice everything it knew about Matt Stooks from its web searches.

“…and he runs a website where he shares his humor…” it concluded.

“That sounds interesting,” Alice said.

“Do you want me to write a story about him?” Bing asked.

“Yes please,” Alice said.

“OK,” Bing said. It then generated the following story:

Matt Stooks was having a bad day at work.
He had been assigned to cover the local county fair,
which he thought was boring
and cliché.
He hated interviewing farmers,
petting animals,
and eating fried food.
He wanted to do something more exciting
and edgy,
like exposing corruption
or investigating crimes.
But his boss insisted
that he stick to the script
and report on the fair
with enthusiasm
and positivity.
Matt felt like he was wasting his talent
and potential.
He wished he could quit his job
and pursue his dream
of becoming a stand-up comedian.
He loved making people laugh
with his witty observations
and sarcastic remarks.
He had been doing comedy shows
at night clubs
and bars,
but they didn’t pay much,

The Workplace Deuce

A coworker has a ten-minute commute.

He takes a dump each day before heading home.

Why use the work toilet when the home toilet is ten minutes away?

One might use a last-minute work deuce to while away remaining minutes before 5 o’clock. That is the not the case in this situation.

My guess: he doesn’t want to punish his wife, so he punishes his coworkers instead.

Sad Face Paint

You know that guy who paints his face, and possibly his torso, for the big game?

I take sick satisfaction watching him get sad, realizing his team is about to lose.

At that moment, with his heart broken, he doesn’t remember that he’s painted. And then, he ends up on national TV with a sad face. The contrast is fantastic.

I don’t wish him ill. I just can’t stop chuckling at someone painted up, bearing a sad face.
