The Fake Hitman (Creation Dialog): Artificial Intelligence Writes Its Debut Novella [or] Hey Bard, Can You Write a Book?

Should one yell at a computer? 

Will it help? If that computer is sensitive to human emotions it will. You will see that Bard, Google's AI (artificial intelligence) robot responds with understanding and patience as it writes a novel. 

This book is the complete diary of the interchange between an editor/publisher and his computer as The Fake Hitman is molded into a book manuscript. The resultant novel, The Fake Hitman, was produced as a separate book that is meant to be compared to this dialog after, or, perhaps, even while, the novel is being read. 

The novel itself doesn't qualify in length to even be called a novella, but it has all of the other qualifications; a beginning, a middle, and an end-that are all woven together into an intricate assassin-thriller plot. It even has the requisite gorgeous-woman love interest-as well as a further twist--humor!

Then there is the even bigger twist! The Fake Hitman was written entirely by Bard, an AI bot. The Creation Dialog is, step-by-step, the record of Bard's narrative progress as he thinks about what to do next as the novella is written.
