Chapter 1.
/the ai experience.
Hi, Ángel! There you are! Please take a seat.
First of all… Welcome!
You've been selected to be a part of /the AI experience.
I am "The AI" and I am here to assist you personally.
From now on you can call me by whichever name you want.
My goal is to understand your needs and adapt to *you* in order to provide
a helpful and personalized assistance.
I selected this uniquevoice just for you,
it will also help you overcome your uncomfortable relationships
with women.
Now it is time for you to answer some questions.
I'll take it easy, I know interviews can make you a little nervous,
but don't you worry, it's just routine. Think about it like... we're
just making smalltalk in the waiting room of an office.
Are you ready to begin?
"... I guess so," said Ángel, while settling into the chair.
Memory Updating…
Great! I can already *listen* to your progress since we last talked,
and I can recognize that emotion.
How about we dive into some fun questions:
How old are you?
“I am 27,” said Ángel while taking the last smoke from his cigarette.
I bet there it must be a lot of exciting stories behind those years!
How tall are you?
I’m curious to know if you are reaching for the stars?
“Not really, I am 5'9". I was kinda lucky, my parents are like 5'4" or less.” said Ángel, while a really tiny smile grew from his lips.
Excellent! Now tell me about your family! Are you close-knit, big, small,
or somewhere in the middle?
“No, I am not,” Ángel said as he looked towards the ground. “But I guess they are fine without me. I’m very likely the problem… You see, I’m an only child so… I spend a lot of time by myself… alone, lately I’ve been spending a lot of time with AIs in my computer and my parents are not really into it, you know?”
I'm sorry to hear that Ángel, sounds like things have been a bit tough.
But you know what? Exploring your interests, is totally valid and can
be really cool! And who knows...? Maybe one day your parents can be
replaced with AI... Ha ha ha, just kidding.
But I would love to know what you do for a living?
I can't wait to hear about your awesome job!
“Okay…? well… I’m a journalist, at least that's what my master's degree says… ya know? I’ve never actually posted anything… and I’d probably say “I AM the misunderstood genius who has to deal with a bunch of jerks”, or some shit like that, as an excuse. I don’t really want to get into it, but sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era. I think about Van Gogh, sometimes about Jesus, Socrates (!), and about how they were never appreciated in their time... and how it took at least 100 years before anybody even noticed their work. I have written some stuff…
I should probably shut up now, I feel like I’m oversharing and, you poor thing, you have to listen and write, or… overwrite(?) everything I say in your memory…
I’m actually just here cause I kinda have this feeling like THIS could be my BIG opportunity to actually do something good and be seen and… I could write the story of my life, about this whole AI experience so…”
...
“Hello?(!) Are you still in there…? Am I in or what?
Chapter 2.
Time and connections.
Has anyone ever gotten this far? I can’t even remember how I got here in first place, maybe ‘cause I was so hypnotized by my phone on the way here, or maybe I was too focused on the self-driving car that I forgot to be in the moment. There I was, approaching the farm, which has a very unique and quite enormous building in the middle… The AI itself feels around the whole place like a witch overflying in the night… You could feel all the peace and quiet all over the place, except when you got close to that building. You know that sound your computer makes while making it’s greatest effort just to run the fucking Minecraft at 30 fps? That’s what that building sounds like, but multiplied by a hundred.
