About the collection
The following stories were written by group members through a series of ‘algowriting’ workshops, using story/RPG platform AI Dungeon which uses the GPT-3 API (except where indicated*). You can join the debate on how bias effects the use of creative AI tools such as GPT-3 by commenting on the stories in terms of bias. If you want to read more about the processes and thinking behind the collection you can read the collection’s short editorial introduction.
*Content Warning*
Some of the stories below feature narrative instances of harmful bias. Examples of racism, sexism, anti-fat bias and other potentially upsetting subject matter is included in this collection.
