Oh. Wow. The story has gone from Lynchian Noir to just full-on Soap Opera. I love it. "I promise it's not like the office Christmas party where I forgot about you until January." That got an honest-to-goodness spit-take.

It took me far too long to realize the irony of Harry treating his son like that... ^^;

Come back to us Mr Staircase! We miss you!

Quick note: If you think your son is an evil outsider and the most wicked person on the planet, maybe don't give him a gift basket full of knives for his birthday?

Well, a good amount of the crazier stuff from Chapter 4 makes a bit more sense now. Just a bit, though. Of course, it probably shouldn't make too much sense, or there'd be no point in using the AI. Come to think of it, it sounds rather difficult striking a balance between writing a coherent narrative and having the sort of absurd humor these AIs are so well known for, but you've been doing a great job so far. Love the thumbnail, by the way.

The thumbnail itself is really spooky! Also, it's interesting that one chapter of a book can double as it's own Halloween special.

Turbine Simulator sounds fun.

Voldemort's successful TV career... Did he, by chance, produce an animated TV show with plotlines based on AI-generated Harry Potter stories? Oh, cooking programs. Close enough.

I'd love to see you mash up other books with this AI. Maybe 1984 with Brave New World and Hunger Games?
