All I have left are my memories. And photos and videos. Increasingly, AI is being used to "revive" old photos and painted portraits. It is right to point out that these memories are not real. They are images created by AI that seem real, but are not. The images are so lifelike that we would like to believe that they are real. But it is a false idea, imposed by software that we have trained ourselves with our own experiences.
High time to start working on my series about AI again. The covers for the prequel series "End Days" - books 1 to 4 - are ready. Book 1 "Hope Lost" is even out already! And even for the main series "AILPHA" the covers for books 1 and 2 are already ready. So, what is stopping me from writing?
Well. The feeling that my memory of my love is slowly disappearing. And I won't let that happen... I've had the idea to write a book about my wife for a while now. I already have the title, and I've written the first chapters. A novel from my own point of view about her, but also our life.
Of course it would be easy to give AI the assignment to write the book. But I don't want to know what memories will be imposed on me. So. I will write it myself. It has to be ready on July 8, her birthday, 1 day before she passed away.
Another solution is to hire a ghostwriter, but I have my thoughts about that too. Those thoughts are already on paper. Just read my short story "The Ghastly Ghostwriter"!
How "living" images can influence your life? Read this week's Flash Fiction "Daimentia".
Synopsis:
The fabulous possibilities of AI to transform old portraits and photos into moving images bring the past back to life. Sometimes just a little too realistic…
