An AI story in the style of Stephanie Landsem

There’s a lot of talk about Artificial Intelligence these days.

As an author who’s novels were used without my permission to teach Chat GPT how to write, I’m concerned about where this new technology is going. Will there come a day when real authors who put their hearts and souls into their work become obsolete?

Out of curiosity, I did a test of Chat GTP and asked it to write a short story in the style of Stephanie Landsem. Not surprisingly, it gave me a Biblical story set by the sea of Galilee. You can read it below.

What do you think? Should I worry about being replaced?

In the quiet town of Bethsaida, nestled beside the calm shores of the Sea of Galilee, there lived a woman named Miriam. Her days were woven with the threads of routine, the rhythmic pulse of her life dictated by the rising and setting of the sun. Miriam was known for her quiet strength and unwavering faith. Widowed at a young age, she found solace in the simple joys of her daily tasks. Her hands, weathered by time and toil, moved with purpose as she tended to her modest home and small garden.

One fateful evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting the sky in hues of pink and gold, a stranger arrived in Bethsaida. His name was Caleb, a weary traveler with a countenance marked by the trials of the road. Miriam noticed him sitting by the well, his eyes reflecting a distant weariness that spoke of burdens carried for too long. In the spirit of hospitality ingrained in the people of Bethsaida, Miriam approached Caleb with a humble offering of water. As their eyes met, an unspoken understanding passed between them. Miriam sensed a story etched in the lines on Caleb’s face, a tale of loss and redemption.

As the days unfolded, Miriam and Caleb’s lives became intertwined. Miriam shared the stories of her own struggles and the solace she found in her faith. In turn, Caleb spoke of a journey that led him far from home, a quest for purpose that seemed to elude him. Together, Miriam and Caleb embarked on a journey of healing and discovery. They explored the hills surrounding Bethsaida, finding beauty in the simplicity of creation. Miriam’s steadfast faith became a beacon for Caleb, guiding him through the shadows of his past.

In the heart of Bethsaida, a bond blossomed—a connection forged in the crucible of shared pain and newfound hope. Miriam, with her gentle strength, became a source of inspiration for the weary traveler, and Caleb, in his vulnerability, brought a renewed sense of purpose to Miriam’s quiet existence. As the seasons changed and the town of Bethsaida continued its tranquil existence, Miriam and Caleb stood together on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. The waves whispered tales of resilience and redemption, and in that sacred moment, they realized that sometimes, the most profound stories are written in the quiet spaces between the lines of everyday life.
