Chapter 06 - Auntie Barbara in the Group Chat
Welcome back to Prompt Fiction! After a three-week break, Reece (recording from a hotel mid-ROAR Tour) and Scott dive into wildly unorganised notes, midnight-toast ideas, and an overflowing stack of AI chaos. From billion-dollar burn rates and Canva disruptions to smart devices that suddenly want a chat, this episode tours the Prompt Fiction wastelands — ending with family-group-chat chaos from Microsoft.
