Smoothie King Pens ‘Thirsty’ Novel With ChatGPT To Celebrate Its Summer Drinks
Just in time for summer, Smoothie King, the world’s largest smoothie chain, has devised a steamy way to bring forth the season’s heat by co-authoring a romance novel with artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT.
The book, titled A Summer Fling To The X-Treme, is meant to reintroduce the brand’s X-Treme Watermelon smoothie and launch the new X-Treme Watermelon Lemonade smoothie. Claiming to be the world’s first romantic novel written by AI, the story is said to be “so romantic” that “computers might finally understand what love is.”

The synopsis involves protagonist Millie, who thinks she will be spending another typical summer with her best friend Samson. But all of that changes when a stranger by the name of Walter Melone (yes, watermelon) arrives to disrupt her plans.
Cheekily, the company added a few “reviews” of the book, one from ChatGPT describing its own work as an “algorithmically crafted romantic novel that is sure to capture the hearts of readers.”
“The characters’ emotions are expertly calculated, creating a truly immersive and engaging experience for all.” Swoon.
A limited run of only 300 paperback copies will be given away to fans for free. In addition, those who crack a series of secret codes within each copy of the novel will stand a chance to win a free smoothie. Head here to find out more.
