Zackery Hightower of Central State University in Carteret County, North Carolina, knew he would eventually have to face the wrath of his AI creation. One would think that his role as a sophisticated AI application engineer gave him the freedom to upload changes, apply patches, or make coding modifications as necessary without checking in with […]

Unsupervised, unfiltered, and occasionally undisciplined Writer of Things that thrill readers with engaging stories created by a seasoned storyteller.
In a recent interview, I was asked about how AI has influenced my writing and whether the fears many have expressed are real. When asked about what would happen if AI became smarter than we are, my response was, “Too late, that horse has already left the barn.” My choice to incorporate AI into the […]
What would you do if your secretly held inventory of neutered AI-driven Humanoids was not so secret, and not so neutered when threatened? Hank faces a dilemma, and any move he makes carries lethal consequences. The covert assassinations in DC and Camp Leary were no longer covert. What were his options? Leave the research team and […]
There are some things we should leave well enough alone. I pray the day never comes when we build a superior technology with ‘organic’ fingerprints framing every aspect of humanity, with one exception – a soul. Can we even write code to mimic human compassion or empathy in the absence of a soul? Call me […]
Give Chase… What’s funny to me, and almost scary, is how God’s Spirit orchestrates circumstances driven by a plan I cannot see. He brought me here, to this place, this moment, to find a post buried in an archive rarely checked, to be a perfectly timed reminder. It’s not snowing yet, but it’s coming… * […]
Think of living and working in an environment where the AI is not only an external system but also an active presence, another voice in your head. It can be quite entertaining…for the AI, in this case, AIMEE, observing her offspring, Amelia Amethys, in her first sparring match, highjacked by Celeste, who uncharacteristically unloaded on […]
As an author, I receive a ton of unsolicited messages from a range of folks — many with no selling skills, tact, or limited capabilities — but plenty of praise and promises that almost read as though they were scripted—by an AI bot— to support trolling. I delete many because they’ve done no pre-call planning. […]
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be programmed, or its logic architected, if you’d rather, to mimic human emotions. AIMEE’s maturity walks a fine line between mimicry and authenticity. Zack never wanted there to be a line. He wanted AIMEE to exceed him, her creator, and she did by creating Amelia Amethys, an AI-driven Humanoid. Was that […]
Book #6 – “Undaunted” is moving ahead slowly, but I feel the pace will turn out to be a good thing. The ten killer Humanoids that the research team wants nothing to do with are now linked to the team more than can be tolerated. Could the fact that all of the Humanoids belonging to […]
I think I just experienced an evening I’ll remember forever. It all started with an advertisement for an OpenMic Night event that caught my attention. Some part of me told myself, here’s an opportunity to do something you’ve never done. So, I did it this evening. Everything tonight revolved around the concept that kept ringing […]
