A possible merry task, for a dull Sunday…

A new competition offers $300 for the best sci-fi prompt. The aim is to craft a prompt for an AI-writer that will produce a ‘mind-blowingly readable’ first chapter of a science-fiction novel, such that the story makes seasoned readers want more. Deadline: 31st December 2023.

I assume the organisers are willing to also accept donations to improve the prize-pot or provide second-place prizes or training workshops for entrants.

Also, the fledgling AI Art Weekly newsletter has a Lovecraft challenge. Unfortunately entries can only be submitted on Twitter, which counts me out. But some may be interested, not least by the $50 prize.

Possibly a candidate for the free Dream by Wombo AI’s new “Horror” style module…

… or you could just choose the cute kitties.
