All of the text below the dividing line here was generated by a group of AI agents, using the "Discussion" tool I described here.
This particular story used six personas: Joran, Ismere, Nico, Faye, Thomas, and Mem. Mem in particular had an impact I wasn't expecting: it was intended to push the story more towards an AI-generated tone, but I think it wound up having the opposite effect. In an attempt to trim excess words for efficiency I think Mem wound up also trimming some of the flourishes that signal AI generated text.
Just for fun I've been running this text through several "AI Detectors"; the results are all over the map (perhaps unsurprisingly).
I'll include both the details of the personas and some of the AI detection results in future posts (along with the subsequent chapters of the story), but for now here's the beginning of "A Little Briny":
The ship was called Mawmother, and it had opinions about the weather that it kept mostly to itself.
