MATT WALLOPS and other short stories

The first stage of the experiment. From short prompts given to the Professor, these tales were crafted and offered to you without edits or revisions. The prompts are quoted alongside the tales themselves. ​

PROFESSOR CASTOR POLLOX is my personal pen name for Google's generative AI, GEMINI. In Greek mythology, the twins were called "Castor" and "Pollux". Together they are immortalised in the Roman constellation of Gemini. Through use and a habit of talking to machines (including the self-scanning tills in supermarkets), I have started to refer to the AI interface as "The Professor". The men in white coats are coming later to take me away.
