With the app trend Lensa, we learned that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can go toe-to-toe with illustrators and photographers. Now, machines are close to competing with writers too, after an AI writes AND illustrates a mystery tale entirely on its own.

That's what you read! An Artificial Intelligence system created by Jonathan I., from RobotCandy, wrote and illustrated the short story “The Neverington Story: Prelude”. The entire text was made with guidelines and assumptions that came from a single sentence. From then on, the “imagination” of the robot touched the boat.
You know what's most amazing about this story? The end result had only minor programmer edits.
What is the story about?
“The Neverington Story: Prelude” is about a strange seaside village called Neverington. The suspense begins when people start to disappear little by little. However, one man will be able to solve this mystery, as the text says.
The text is actually small. Furthermore, as indicated in the title, it is a prelude, the beginning of a journey. read below.
The entire short story was written by GPT3, text-davinci-002 model. While the images were generated by the Midjourney V4.
Artificial Intelligence can even write a short story, but will it be able to replace human creativity?
Difficultly. As much as technology is advancing a lot in terms of AI, manpower and, especially, human creativity will not be replaced. The most widespread idea among scientists is that they work together.
Furthermore, the short story, the illustrations and the Lensa application mentioned at the beginning of the text are just some of the examples where AI may be applied in the future. Programmers believe that, in the coming years, Artificial Intelligence will be everywhere, helping us in the most diverse activities.

The original text, written by AI, was posted on Jonathan I. on LinkedIn. You can access the original publication by clicking here, or read a free translation below.
Rumors had been circulating for weeks. People had disappeared in the small town of Neverington and no one seemed to know why. Some even said the disappearances were the work of a monster.
Nobody knew for sure, but the fear was enough to keep people indoors after dark. Nobody wanted to be the next victim.
One night, a group of men gathered at the local tavern, talking in hushed tones about recent events.
“I tell you, something is not right in this town,” said one of the men.
“Yes, that is the truth,” agreed another. "I heard that the missing people were taken by a monster."
“Nonsense,” said a third man. "It's more likely the work of an assassin."The men continued to argue until a fourth man spoke.
“Whatever is responsible, we need to do something about it,” he said. "And I know exactly the man you can help us with."
