Here ’s a footling slice of some Halloween - themed nostalgia for ' ninety kids to enjoy , only it get with a 2018 twist . The squad at Botnik studios have already had a go at AI - generatedHarry ceramicist , Fire and Fury - inspired political bios , and aGoop - mode wellness and wellness website . Now , they ’ve turn their hand to spooky stories in the vein of R. L. Stine’sGoosebumpsseries – and the result is ( predictably ) absurd .
“ We took ‘ Give Yourself Goosebumps ’ as our aspiration and throw those Quran into our prognostic school text writing software , ” explicate Botnik ’s Nicky Martin .
“ Our goal was to create a playable ‘ opt Your Own Adventure ’ expressive style Bible where every Bible comes from ‘ Give Yourself Goosebumps . ’ ”
That ’s right . This is an interactional escapade chronicle titledGive Yourself Goofbumps : Welcome to Sand Handsthat you may work for your very self atbotnik.org/goosebumps/.
The canonical premiss is that you are running of late for gymnasium class because of your cousin , Zoe . But it does n’t count because she has a design . There is a shortcut through the ominous sounding " Zombie Forest " .
The robo - author asks :
" Do you make bold beat feet through scary woods ? If you do , you might get a magic sword . Or even a pop can from a phantasmal horse . But how will you hold either when your hands are made of sand ? "
Er , right . Anyway , it continues :
" mayhap you should stay home where the toys are . But be careful . You could wake up one day and find yourself married … with vampires ! "
It ’s up to you but regardless of your conclusion , you’re able to meet a fabulous ( and very foreign ) cast of character , from your mom who " scoop out some cheeseflower sauce into her handbag " to your full cousin Zoe whose mom was stab by " that mankind " and your sarcastic champion Brad with the foot fetish who you met at a lip - smacking contest . Depending on your journeying , you might meet the King of Rodents , Dr Backpack the Time Scientist , a talking dog with a mike , or your malevolent vampire children .
There are also some gems of sentences including :
" Today has been a salt shaker of horrors – and you ’re the salt ! "
" You realize your hands are now made out of sand . Yes , you ’ve get grit hands and there ’s no going back . "
And :
" You look through the listings , look for something to take your mind off those undead ruffian . There ’s nothing good on . You ’ll have to choose between catch reruns of Toothpaste Ninja or an infomercial for forehead ointment . "
Let ’s just say , it looks like Botnik could do with a little more practice …
“ We started Botnik to research whether or not artificial intelligence could be funny , ” Martin explain .
“ Clearly , we still have a long path to go , but we ’re encouraged by what we ’ve construe so far . Cheese sauce – in a purse ? That ’s practiced clobber . ”
For more AI - pen repugnance , train out this sample from " Shelley " from last year .
