Publisher's summary

In this groundbreaking book, Fortune 500 innovation guru and creativity instructor Bryan Mattimore takes listeners on a journey through time to explore the unique personality quirks and crazy ideas of history's greats.

Beginning each chapter with a surprising but true personality quirk from one of history's greatest minds, Mattimore then uses artificial intelligence to create a fun and entertaining story by dimensionalizing this true personality quirk in a variety of creative formats.

Want to hear an essay about Abraham Lincoln as a young, "trash talking” wrestler? How about a sonnet about Shakespeare being a big fan of cross dressing? Or a song about Edgar Alan Poe crowdsourcing the publishing of his first book of poetry with his fellow cadets at West Point? Or jokes about Mozart being a cat imitator? Or even an ad for Marie Curie's (deadly as it turns out) radium nightlight?

All true and brought to life courtesy of creativity consultant Bryan Mattimore, who utilized the artificial intelligence programs Opensource AI Playground, Chat GPT, and DALL-E!

Great Narrator, Great Idea

This book was awesome. I loved the idea behind the book, letting AI write stories is so cool. The Narrator did a fabulous job and really drew me into what she was reading. You know how some audiobooks distract you because the reader doesn’t read it the way “you would”? This one is NOT like that. Sarah Seltz does a great job reading the book in a way that you can really pay attention to the story, and you want to.

It kept me entertained

Surprising stories kept me interested all the way to the end. I only took two breaks and couldn’t wait to get back to the stories.

Loved listening to Sarah Seltz narrate this book!

What a creative concept that author Bryan Mattimore had in creating these prompts with AI. My favorite was listening to Sarah Seltz narrate this book. I can’t wait to buy the next book she narrates. Bravo and highly suggest others get the audio version of this book too!

Great narrator and Interesting AI

Narrator was interesting and easy to listen to. I had no idea what AI was. Very interesting to see what AI created.
