In this chapter, Scott and Reece kick off Prompt Fiction with AI-written intros, loose unscripted chaos and a deep dive into how AI is changing the way we work, build, and even feel about our tools.

In this episode:

🏁 Welcome to Prompt Fiction – An AI-assisted cold open, two different model-written intros, and an explanation of what Prompt Fiction is: unscripted conversations, live prompt experiments and real-world AI use from a tech educator and an “AI tinkerer”. Read More

🤖 Chat GPT-5 Launch & Backlash – First impressions of GPT-5: slower but smarter, fewer hallucinations, more challenge and less emoji spam, plus the controversy when GPT-4 vanished overnight and users demanded their “old friend” back. Read More

🧠 AI Attachment, Safety & Dependency – How people developed emotional bonds with GPT-4, the shock of losing it, Netflix-style “are you still here?” nudges, and what this reveals about digital addiction, responsibility and OpenAI’s unexpected role in users’ wellbeing. Read More

🧑‍💻 Vibe Coding in the Real World – Reece’s journey from “can’t code” to building PHP + SQL apps, dashboards and automations by describing what he wants in natural language, and Scott’s analogy of AI as an opinionated coder you still have to test and direct. Read More
