My father is about to turn 92. The battery in his electric scooter died and when he visited the local battery man he was surprised to learn that he was modifying scooters to go really fast–like 40 to 80 MPH. He was bypassing the chip that governs the electric motor’s speed. Below are pictures that my father sent me of him modifying his e-scooter.


With a few changes, I gave the facts to ChatGPT and the AI used this to create episode 3 in the Grandpa Zooms series along with a picture. Again using another AI that specializes in text-to-speech (Hume AI), the story became an βaudibleβ but this time with three voices. AI continues to spark my imagination. This is my favorite episode.
Hereβs a link to my YouTube channel where you can listen to Grandpa Zooms Again.
