Thomas the Tank Engine lives in several alternate realities. See the "Bard" post above.
So I went to the Bard site and did my own thing. I commanded the AI slave as follows:
Write a parody of Thomas the tank engine involving Amtrak and a freight train
The AI gave me this:
The Adventures of Amtrak Alfie
Alfie the Amtrak engine wasn't your typical train. He didn't pull carriages filled with coal or building supplies. Instead, Alfie pulled sleek, comfortable cars filled with excited passengers heading off on adventures all across America.
One sunny Tuesday, Alfie was chugging along the tracks, his whistle blowing a cheerful tune, when he saw a long, slow freight train ahead. The freight train, a grumpy old engine named Bruno, was hauling a long line of boxcars.
"Out of my way, slowpoke!" Bruno bellowed, spewing black smoke into the air. "I have important cargo to deliver!"
Alfie politely replied, "Excuse me, Bruno, but I have passengers who are eager to reach their destinations. Could you please move aside so I can pass?"
Bruno scoffed. "Passengers? Bah! They're just tourists, wasting time and money on frivolous vacations. My cargo is what matters! It keeps the country running!"
Alfie didn't want to argue. He knew arguing with Bruno was like trying to talk sense to a brick wall. So, he patiently waited for Bruno to move out of the way. But minutes turned into hours, and Bruno remained stubbornly parked on the tracks.
Alfie's passengers grew impatient. They started tapping on their windows and muttering complaints. Some even threatened to get off the train and walk! Alfie knew he had to do something.
Thinking quickly, Alfie remembered a story he had heard about a clever engine who used his whistle to create a diversion. Taking a deep breath, Alfie let out a loud, piercing whistle that echoed through the valley.
The sound startled Bruno so much that he jumped backwards, bumping his boxcars and causing a loud crash. The commotion attracted the attention of the stationmaster, who quickly came to investigate.
When the stationmaster saw the situation, he was furious with Bruno. He scolded him for blocking the tracks and delaying the important Amtrak train. He then ordered Bruno to move aside immediately.
Bruno grumbled and muttered under his breath, but he knew he had no choice but to obey. He slowly moved his train off the tracks, allowing Alfie to finally pass.
Alfie thanked the stationmaster and continued on his journey, his passengers cheering and waving. He learned a valuable lesson that day: patience and a little bit of cleverness can go a long way.
From that day on, Alfie never forgot the day he outwitted Bruno the grumpy freight train. He continued to pull his passengers across America, making sure they had a comfortable and enjoyable journey. And whenever he saw Bruno, he would always give him a little whistle blow, just to remind him of who was really in charge!
The AI also gave me 2 alternative drafts. If there is interest, I'll post them 2. Maybe I'll also do this on ChatCPG and see what it goives me!
