I just realized that I have the perfect anti-AI story:
King Cormac and the Silver Branch
It's an Irish legend about a wise king who is visited by a mysterious otherworldly stranger bearing a silver branch with golden apples. Shaking the branch produces such a wonderful music that people immediately forget their pain and sorrows and daily worries.
King Cormac covets the branch, and is willing to pay whatever price the stranger sets for it.
