My father turns 92 in two weeks. He recently saw an add in Marketplace for two motorized grocery carts, alias grocery scooters. You know, the kind with giant baskets up front. He immediately called the seller and reserved his. Due to lack of interest, the seller reduced the price to $50–Cowabunga! It solved his problem of how to transport groceries on his stand-on e-scooter.


I gave the facts to ChatGPT and the AI took it from there. It generated a fact based story and a picture and then using another AI that specializes in text-to-speech (Hume AI), the story became an βaudible.β This AI assisted account, episode 2 in the audible Grandpa Zoom series, includes his conversation with the nearby store manager and my dad’s (a.k.a. Marvin’s) solution to the problem of the store manager.
Hereβs a link to my YouTube channel where you can listen to Grandpa Zoom Goes Put Put and learn what transpires between Marvin and the store manager and what happens when Marvin’s friend, Earl, buys the second scooter.
AI continues to spark my imagination and tickle my inner self with this fun audible.
