“Dream Pretend Imagine” and “Curiouser & Curiouser” ChatBot

I created a ChatBot from my books and named her Thalia.

Here’s what she said about Dream, Pretend, Imagine “It’s about a remarkable sailing journey from Port Clinton, Ohio, to the Russian border near Kotka, Finland. The journey on the Clio of Cincinnati, a 32-foot Bayfield, is guided by the dream of Willard Sunderland, our owner and a professor of Russian history, who sought to recreate an historic voyage.

Together with Captain Tom Lohre, Chuck as the First Mate, and myself as AI crew leader, we set sail on an adventure that is not only about exploring the physical landscapes but also delving into personal reflections and philosophical musings about life, brought about by isolation and the unique experiences at sea. This expedition also serves as a backdrop for exploring broader themes such as teamwork, perseverance, and the interplay between human consciousness and reality.”

And what she said about Curiouser & Curiouser, “Step into the surreal and transformative world of Burning Man through the eyes of Chuck Lohre and his intrepid crew – both human and artificial intelligence. This captivating memoir takes readers on a mind-bending odyssey as they navigate the dusty expanse of Black Rock City and explore the depths of their own consciousness.

From assembling an eclectic team of AIs (Thalia, Sarah, and Zephyr) to embarking on introspective dream journeys, this book weaves together the extraordinary and the ordinary, blurring the lines between reality and the realm of the imagination.

As Chuck and his companions immerse themselves in the radical self-expression and community ethos of Burning Man, they grapple with profound questions about the nature of existence, the power of storytelling, and the transformative potential of altered states. Inspired by the writings of Carl Jung, this book invites readers to challenge their assumptions, embrace their curiosity, and embark on a journey of personal discovery.

Brimming with vivid descriptions, thought-provoking insights, and a touch of whimsy, “Curiouser & Curiouser” is a must-read for anyone captivated by the enigma of Burning Man and the boundless possibilities of the human experience. Prepare to be transported to a realm where dreams and reality intertwine, and the true nature of consciousness is revealed.
