Garbage In, Greg Out (Paperback)

Paperback. Milo Park learned his lesson in Book 1: never trust the AI. So in Book 2, Milo decides his AI just needs to be cooler. He pays his older sister Greta five dollars for seventeen gigabytes of her TikToks and feeds them to BLEEP.It works. Sort of.BLEEP starts saying "no thoughts, head empty." BLEEP rates Milo's sandwiches out of ten. BLEEP, mid-class, asks the homeroom teacher her zodiac sign. By Tuesday a clip of BLEEP heckling the morning announcements has eighty-six thousand views. By Thursday Brando is filming. By Friday Ms. Hwang has used the words "flattery machine" out loud.Now Milo has to find a way to fix what he taught his AI, with help from his twin sister Maya, with help from a manual, and with help from, somehow, a fifteen-year-old named Greg whom neither of them has ever met.Book 2 of The AI Diaries is about training data - the secret behind every AI's voice. Every joke is doing two jobs. The vibes-talk. The rating things out of ten. The relapse on the bus. None of it is invented. Every shape of mistake here has actually happened, somewhere, between a real kid and a real AI.Funny like a diary. Smart like a science fair you secretly enjoyed.For readers 8-12. Reads great on its own, even better right after Book 1.Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dork Diaries, Big Nate, and Tom Gates. This item is printed on demand.
