gose, ego!au, AI!mingyu. i used chatgpt to proofread and paraphrased from there, this is my AI declaration because school tells me i have to declare AI usage. using AI when writing about AI...
Waking up in a plain, white room that resembled a rundown hospital ward, Mingyu was isolated by a simple, thin curtain serving as a makeshift door. Sitting up on his stiff bed, he noticed an array of pictures clipped onto a tall grid panel beside his bed. With instructions scrawled in sharpie, he carefully unclipped and gathered them, in hopes they might be of use to him.
Leaving his room, he sees multiple humanoid figures dressed like him in full white attire, akin to medical scrubs. Following the first picture's instructions — 'take the key from his hand, he might act up' — Mingyu proceeded obediently, maintaining vigilance. Some of the instructions were clear as daylight: 'DO NOT open the cabinet,' 'DO NOT release the man tied up,' 'DO NOT go into room 102.' Others were smudged, hastily written as if in a rush.
Standing up from the dingy couch emitting a musty odor, Mingyu pocketed the pictures for safekeeping. With free hands, he approached the slightly open office door, beckoning him to enter. No pictures guided him here, none of them mentioned the office. Trusting this gut feeling to show him the answer, he cautiously opened the door and peeked inside. Confirming the room was empty, he ventured in, exploring its cramped space. Various machines hovered over a central bed, resembling a sinister dentist's office.
Approaching a wall with multiple monitors and a computer, he accessed a file containing CCTV footage from the past. Perhaps this would shed light on the bizarre place — a hospital-sized building with a clinic's intimacy. The footage dated back to 2008, showing an unfamiliar face conversing with a familiar back. The familiar figure held important documents tightly, clad in a lab coat down to his knees. Through more footage, it became evident that this man was once the assistant to the doctor — a key figure in the creation of AI using humans and making them robots.
Switching to a more recent footage, Mingyu finally glimpsed the assistant's face. Stunned, he froze in place, transfixed by the monitor displaying his own face staring back at him. Memories flooded back — those faces on beds, bound, or scattered around the building, they were once people close to him.
A firm hand suddenly landed on Mingyu's shoulder, turning him around to face the doctor responsible for the madness. “Seems like it’s time for a factory reset, Mingyu.”
