This document collects a series of blog posts in which I prompted ChatGPT to tell a story. The exact nature of the prompts varied from simple-"Tell me a story"-to complex, where ChatGPT had to create a new story based on an existing story given in the prompt. Many of the stories were like fairy tales, some were realistic, and some where even about real people. When asked to tell a story about colorless green ideas, ChatGPT refused, and it refused to include an incident about a flying saucer in and ongoing fairy-tale kind of story. It told stories about many crimes, but not all crimes (no murders or rapes). I list 12 occasions when ChatGPT's response surprised me. The posts were uploaded between January 16 and February 21, 2023.
