Stories by AI

Stories by AI is a Substack newsletter that publishes original fiction generated with AI. Each story is written, illustrated, and sometimes narrated using large language models like GPT-3 and ChatGPT. Recent posts include science fiction, horror, and fantasy tales such as 'The Hellmouth in the Coffee Shop' and 'When the Sky Turned Red.' The publication is run by a team of writers who experiment with AI as a creative tool, producing everything from short stories to editorials about AI writing.

The site works like a typical blog: new stories appear regularly, readers can subscribe for free (or paid) to get them via email, and the archive is organized by category (Stories and Editorials). What makes it stand out is the transparency — the authors openly discuss how they use AI, the good and the bad, and even share their process in posts like 'ChatGPT for Creative Writing - the Good and the Bad.' There's also a podcast version for narrated stories. If you're curious about what AI-written fiction actually looks like (beyond the hype), this is a real, ongoing experiment you can follow.

This is primarily a reader's destination. If you enjoy speculative fiction and want to see how AI handles narrative, character, and plot, you'll find plenty to dig into. For writers, the behind-the-scenes posts offer practical insights into using AI as a co-writer. It's not a tool you install — it's a publication you read and subscribe to.
