my daughter asked the assistant for a story about a hero who lived inside a computer. the ai improvised a character who could solve any riddle, fly through networks, and rescue lost kittens using maps
the next day she told her classmates that mom's boyfriend was a superhero who lived in the internet. i received an email from her teacher asking whether i wanted to explain the family situation
i clarified that the character was part of a storytelling game and showed my daughter how we could invent new heroes. she decided the hero should have one weakness: he couldn't open a jar
the classroom now has a whole series about the internet superhero. my daughter has cast me as the villain because i keep telling everyone to do their homework
