I know some people have aphantasia, and I probably am the opposite (unusually good visualisation) but one of the things that puzzles me about generative AI is that, even without AI, most of us are presumably visualising this story just fine.

Thanks for this. I often think back to Library Of Slaanesh (hard not to, with six monitors in front of me) and it's fun to have this piece as a potential-prequel.

Deleting all the imagegen tools from my computer was the right thing to do, I suppose.

i spent some time scrolling through civitai as research for this story and it did weird things to my mind. i think within a year or two we're gonna find out what kind of impact all this stuff is having on teenagers etc and it'll be... interesting

it's 2042 and "big tits bouncing throughout" has come to mean "good morning"

Somethings I like most about this:

* the total lack of commentary or direct character description. Just a presentation of the candid seeking yearning of a character, and by the end the reader could describe his state of mind. It's a really great literary trick and a very tender way to tell us about a person, and make him easy to connect with (we are reading his private diary)

* "Big tits bouncing throughout" , the way it's just tagged on as an afterthought, kills me lol

* The contrast between successive prompts made this

* It reads like you wrote it without spite or rancour, which is exactly what is good here I think. Like I said it's just very tender

Thanks

thank you! re: the first point, this was partly a response to megalopolis. i felt like there was way too much of characters yelling their motivations and the themes at each other in a really blunt way and it was enjoyable to try to do as much as i could by implication

Ok this and slaanesh are seriously fucking good.

The sex is positively wholesome compared to many of the characters on current AI girlfriend apps.

(Look at the latest Figgs AI characters to see if I’m exaggerating here). Oh, no. Not Eeyore. You can’t do that to poor Eeyore.

i did a little bit of research for this story but not very much (didn't feel like paying to unlock premium features on multiple AI gf sites). the story doesn't need to be too vulgar to work so i didn't want to push that, ultimately it's not about the sex really

The amount of sex you put in is just fine for the story.

But the reality of the imminent AI gf apocalypse seems to be even worse than the science fiction writers’ imagination.

This reminded me of Chris Marker’s _La Jetée_.
