We want to be humble in our approach, but we believe this is disruptive,” Dai said. Different kinds of content Weili Dai is cofounder and executive chair of MeetKai and Story Machine. While generative AI takes the first pass at art, the humans on the team take over once they get a better idea of where to go. And humans can also create their own pools of foundational material for the generative AI to use to create its own creations. Powerful storytelling, unforgettable characters and a moving journey. A fantastic debut.’ 5 Star review in BookswithDanSamEnd We just want to leverage things and lower the barrier of entry for people being able to create,” Kaplan said.

While it’s not likely that generative AI can spit out awesome games anytime soon, helping game creators with tools that can help them generate better art is a big opportunity, said James Kaplan, CEO of Meetkai, one of Dai’s metaverse platform companies, in an interview with GamesBeat.

Story Machine

I adored Malory Towers, The Secret Seven, The Famous Five. The Twins at St Clare’sleft me looking at my life in comparison to theirs in this posh boarding school and their picnics with constant lashings of ginger beer and big fat pies. Blyton writes an impossible-to-match picnic! Heart breaking and then heart mending. Bradington Bay is a story of family legacy and the minefield that is adolescence as a gay man in a largely homophobic world. This is the type of redemptive story needed today more than ever.’ In her thoughtful introduction to All Over Ireland, Madden urges us not to take for granted the act of reading and to remember that the ‘direct relationship between a reader and a writer – private, contemplative, born out of silence – is to be valued more and more as the cultural cacophony around us increases’.

I remember going on a school trip to York aged eight with a terrible haircut and a Secret Seven book in my bag – I think it was Seven Go to the Island. We were in this old school which had bunkbeds and I was there with my three best mates and we were having a grand old time. I remember the date was the 7 thMay because in the book it was the 7 thMay too, and I thought that was incredible. That fiction and reality could overlap like that. Even now at the age of 33 if I’m on a train and we’re on a train in the book, it somehow seems more special. And if I’m reading that a character bites her nails I’ll do that. Or if someone in a book gives somebody the stink-eye, I’ll be doing the stink-eye to myself. I guess it’s like mirroring in a conversation with someone, only with an inanimate object.

Software that writes stories? A fascinating insight into how computers are learning to replicate the power of human imagination. Sharples and Pérez y Pérez are experts in the field of computational creativity. Their insights into language, story structure and the replication of human creativity map a journey in which computers could create future stories that change behaviours and beliefs. The ethics of how these are enabled, engaged and deployed will be a debated for years to come." Developers can go to storymachine.com to join the waitlist. The official launch is expected later this year. I am thrilled to welcome Gatehouse Press and Lighthouse Journal into the Story Machine family. This merger creates a stronger independent publishing group based in Norwich UNESCO City of Literature. It will enable us to manage costs and create a publishing force better able to serve our authors and provide a better and easier experience for our readers.’

Story Machine is opening in private beta today and is ready to be deployed in professional environments. It is the newest member of Dai’s ecosystem of hardware and software companies, which includes MeetKai, an AI and Metaverse services company. Meetkai helps companies build metaverse applications. The Story Machine project has been underway for about a year, said Love. Story Machine helps you create games using generative AI. He said you won’t be able to just type in a text prompt and get a game generated automatically. Something like Story Machine, however, removes the need for the game creator to be an outstanding artist at the outset. So far Story Machine is using DALL-E and Stable Diffusion. DALL-E tends to create better photorealistic art, while Stable Diffusion is good at anime, Kaplan said.The past 18 months have given us a chance to reflect on how we operate as a publisher. After much discussion and consideration we are excited to announce that we will be joining under the umbrella of Story Machine. ‘ In my ecosystem, I always have the passion to empower the young generation with creativity, for education, to express themselves now with another choice of Story Machine,” said Dai. “I think we can serve the masses with this technology and its affordable costs. We’re very excited. This is why we are launching at the Game Developers Conference.” Writing and movement workshops were developed by Sally-Anne Lomas and Story Machine in 2021 around publication of Lomas’s debut novel, Live Like Your Head’s On Fire, in which Pen Flowers finds ways to cope with the pressures of adolescence through physical movement and dance. When Dr Ruw Abeyratne attended a Writing and Movement workshop in 2021 she immediately recognized the benefit that this work could have for her colleagues across the NHS.
