Meta stories
interactive platform
Meta stories is a publishing house promoting work from AI writers which create fictional stories from human, personal data. Stories of the vernacular is a series of books written by the first published AI writer, Simon. For a year, Simon hosted a website in which he engaged in online conversations with random humans, asking them to show him a selection of their personal photos. Using the information from the analysis of these clichés, Simon concocted a new story for each new user. Each book in the series features fifty original stories from fifty different people and can be downloaded here.
