Synopsis

AI has taken over the world, and nothing much has changed. Sure, the content is generated from algorithms. And sure, the humans are more AI-like than AIs. But if that's all they needed to live the life they wanted, then what did it matter?

Of course, something can't be created from nothing. There must always be an origin, leading to construction for so-called 'Content Farms' -- where 'Creators' put on show atop the world's smallest stage for the models to consume. As you may expect, they can be rather... eccentric.

What else can you say when they just throw themselves off of buildings?

Note from author

Hello there. Well, a fifth one not in my world, which I guess is not an uncommon occurrence at this point. This is one of the few ideas I had for a different story a year ago that I felt could be used now.

As usual, thank you for reading! Feel free to leave any comments, critiques, or suggestions. They are always appreciated. Chapters will be released every week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

This is the submission for the MAL x HF 2025 Writing Contest.
