Writer Hazel Grian was commissioned by the ILS Collection to explore how storytelling can interface with artificial intelligence. Here is Hazel to introduce the project:
A Tendency To Spill is an interactive Science Fiction story that involves a chat bot (instant chat using artificial intelligence.)
Romy is a human child brought up in a world of robots. She is about to be taken from her home and expelled to the human world across The Wall. She doesn’t have much time, maybe 10 or 20 minutes. She asks you now for a crash course in what’s really at the heart of human society.
This story is recommended for anyone aged 13 and upwards and is equivalent to Young Adult Fiction. With that in mind, appropriate behaviour and language are expected from you as well as from Romy.
This project has now closed. You can explore the artists’ work by following the links below.
