Human V Machine(AI) Storytelling
Apr 400:04:33Tap to summarizeMore filler ...'Flight into Cúlfadda' should be about next week, like most/all writers this is a hobby and has to go to the bottom of the list of stuff to do -anyhows, this skit is aimed at the AI generated storytelling nonsense, because to my mind the idea of AI creativity is stone mad. It works fine for an algorithm where the name of the game is appealing to the maximum number of people. But it is ultimately (literally) pointless.

Feb 2100:00:54Tap to summarizeThe last of the summer wine for a former TV star apologies ...been delayed starting 'black socks'. Writing is about as usefull as a handbrake in a canoe so need to push the adventure back to when I can give it time. Thank you if you're checking this stream out.BTW -have a plan for filming 'Flight into Culfadda' this summer. A mix of 'Fr.Ted' and 'Black Mirror', written around the folk I can get to act ...def a jobsworth traffic controller, and an earnest newsreader, and a comedy duo making a mess of things, and AI doing its AI thing. Dunno why I'm telling ya that ...40% probable ...got two great actors and a top class editor so far, so if it happens there's a 56% chance you'll like it.

Jan 2200:03:18Tap to summarizeA three minute story. If you are tuning in and got a kick from this there are daily jokes on the Irish Science Fiction YouTube that ya might get a giggle from. I try to keep them under a minute ...and there are currently 800+ uploaded (with over half sitting on zero views, which is either an achievement or a true reflection of their quality). 'The Adventures of Special Agent Black Socks' will kick off on it's five year journey soon. Thanks for listening, Brian

Dec 500:27:30Tap to summarizeA 30 min family friendly Irish Sci-Fi tale ...an electronic algorithm has been agitating humanity into opposing groupings. Written & narrated by Brian Sexton (who had a cold, but ya gotta record when ya can in this game)
Transcribe →The Clock at Dunsoggany Station (2 min tale)
Nov 600:02:58Tap to summarizeA not so funny tale about burnout. On the plus side it's quick. A modern day SF adventure will be out in a fortnight -a self contained tale about a Martian Cephalod, a Socially Engineered girl and a TV show host (prob be a run time of twenty to thirty mins). Thanks for tuning in, Brian
