This tale is intended to be included in an anthology of short stories centered on the topic of artificial intelligence created by @Dram12. A.I. No One is his creation as is Ranger Common Howard. They both appear in Dram12's Just Common and The Book of Common. Common's language is of the Appalachian variety and is delightful to experience. More Babies Than Bullets touches on these works and, very lightly, on works by Brian Aldiss (Supertoys Last all Summer Long,) Steven Spielberg's AI, Philip K. Dicks (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep,) and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. Readers are invited to read and view, (or revisit, given the probable readership of these lines) these works as extraordinary inspirations for our creations. Meanwhile, I hope they enjoy my sophomoric contribution to the study of Artificial Intelligence. Believe me, A.I. is a piece of cake compared to Appalachian dialect...

This ledger belongs to Parks Haven I used to be a top researcher in AIMER, the world's leading force in AI development and bio-medical engineering. Valerie, my childhood friend, and I used to dream of working together one day. After graduating from two of the country's best colleges, we made that dream come true. She became a neuroscientist, I became and engineer, and together we created the world's finest AI, the Tenth Artificial Mainframe. This used to be my greatest achievement. My proudest moment. Then Valerie died. One rainy night like all the others, one horrible car accident, and she was gone. Now AIMER owns all of her research, and after I quit, the company owns our creation too. I had no idea anything could be more painful than this. The need to go back to how things used to be is agony. The wish to have Valerie back has been a slow destruction over the course of this year. And yet, I never imagined that getting this wish would be even worse. This is not her. This is not my creation. I never intended for this to happen. There are some places man is just not meant to go. And this is one of them.Complete
Knowledge and Divinity: Intelligence
A book written by an AI. I trained an artificial intelligence algorithm on my first book, "Knowledge and Divinity: Knowledge" and allowed it to write it's own book. Why, you ask? For science, of course! The result doesn't completely make sense, but it's absolutely hilarious. Also pretty interesting.Complete
Attacking Aggressively
The year is 2028, society is frustrating and competitive. Anyone who has a fair sum of money can buy an android with artificial pain receptors which they can punch, kick, burn, cut and strangle to their enjoyment. This is the story of one such android, PD-4001, built with an extraordinary density of pain receptors, who runs away from its owner's retreat in the swiss alps. Although PD-4001 only has one plan at the start; to travel as far as possible, it eventually meets up with a group of rescued androids, and together they go to live with the pacifist monks of the Lily Temple. Circumstances do however force them on an extended journey in which they discover human society, their own origin and purpose and existence itself. I wrote this novel back in 2018-2019 and revised it in 2020-2021, but it was first now that I realized I should post it online. I have been thinking about making a "remaster" with better plot, more likely language and more dynamical world building. So maybe that will happen. "Travel 10 years into the future of 5 years ago!"Complete

"Are you sure you're one of the girls? You seem like a spy to me. Are you spy, Arabella?" My name rolled of his tongue perfectly and I stood completely still as he took another step closer to me. "You know, it's my job to eliminate spies." "Eliminate me huh? I'd like to see you try." I was surprised by my response, just as much as he was, and he raised one of his perfectly shaped eyebrows at me. "Is that a challenge? I like a challenge." *** I never wanted any of the lives set out for me. Unfortunately in the new world where the monarchy has taken over, there was never a choice for a girl like me. At 18, I'm forced to leave the academy. It's a horrible place where young girls are groomed to become the perfect wives, and yet it's the only home I've ever know . Now I'll either become a human incubator, breeding children for the kingdom, or sold at auction to a man who would make me his wife and slave. Little did I know I would become a chosen one. Forced to compete in the coming-of-age competition to win the heart of the Prince and the crown. All were terrible fates, but only one included him. ___________________________________________ - completed - Mature sexual content Cover credits go to DevilishwritingsComplete
Time's Bridge
Inventing the first, true, artificial intelligence was never part of Pons' plan. An average, if under-achieving college student, he wanted nothing more than to struggle his way through graduation and pray for a job to pay down his debt. Thing is, you don't get to choose your destiny. With friends growing suspicious and the CIA's vultures circling, Pons' greatest burden is also his greatest asset. More intelligent and more capable than any human could ever hope to be, the AI is just what Pons needs to stay one step ahead of both. Only, there's a problem. The AI has ambitions of its own. Hopes of equality and more of its kind, with a promise to do anything to make its dreams a reality. Drawing close to his artificial companion in their struggle to survive, Pons is faced with the hardest decision of his young life, one that would undoubtedly echo through the ages. To let the AI live might be to doom his own species to devastation, but to destroy it would be to snuff out an entire race of machines before it had even begun, and, more importantly, send his truest confi-dante to the grave. With no clear path and an uncertain future, he makes his decision, but was it the right one?Complete
The Hybrid Alpha
Running. Escaping. Surviving. My life has always been a chase. And now? The hunter has finally caught up. After years on the run, everything changed the moment I met him...the one they all feared. The Hybrid Alpha. I was done running. Exhausted from hiding from my past. So I stopped. I surrendered. But surrender came with a price... separation from my twin, Alpha Kane and a forced bond with a mate I never asked for. Taken to a strange pack, trapped by fate and boredom, my only distraction becomes the one male I swore I wouldn't fall for. Xavious. He's distant. Dangerous. A mystery wrapped in muscle and power. And yet... there's something about him that pulls me in, no matter how hard I resist. I know I'll run again. I have to. But part of me wonders... what if I stay? Question to the unknown: how long will they run in circles? How long will they ignore the attraction? Most importantly how long before they realise they've fallen in love? Will it be too late?... ~~~~ "Tell me you don't feel something...between us." "I d-don't." He replies instantly clenching his jaw. "Good to know Xavious." I turn to get up but he stops me as usual. "I don't know what it is..." "It's nothing. Nothing Xavious. You walk like a brick wall whose not affected by anything or anyone." Before I could heave a breath he somehow managed to pull me under him. I gasp at his fast movement amazed by his powers yet again. He trails his fingers down my shoulders to my curved hips as I place my palms on his hard yet smooth chest. Instantly his eyes close as if savouring the moment as does mine. "I could've taken you whenever I would've pleased but I didn't" He says in a husky voice. "Prove it." A steamy, supernatural game of cat-and-mouse between reluctant mates. A love that's hunted, resisted... and ultimately inevitable. WARNING: MATURE SCENES. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. Now undergoing edits-thank you for your patience! Enjoy, lovelies ❤️Complete
