I fed an AI the entirety of Tales of Virtual Shopkeeper and asked it to write a new chapter

Leading up to the second MAL x Honeyfeed contest, Tales of Virtual Shopkeeper 2 was put on hiatus so that I could focus on preparing my contest entry. But what if there was a way that I could make new Virtual Shopkeeper content without actually making new Virtual Shopkeeper content...? Well now I can! Behold, a chapter of Tales of Virtual Shopkeeper, written entirely by an AI! :D

So basically, I was bored and I copypasted the entirety of Virtual Shopkeeper into an AI, to see if it could replicate the novel's tone. And while this chapter isn't necessarily good, per se, it is competently written and references the continuity of Virtual Shopkeeper with disturbing accuracy. (Consider this a spoiler warning. Maybe check out the original novel first?)

Has artificial intelligence truly come too far? Or is this AI even dumber than Princess Kaguya Fujiwara? Read this oneshot to find out! ;)

Every single line in this story was genuinely written by an AI, with the exception of the "end of purchase" line which was written by me because the AI didn't write a proper conclusion.
