An Act of Resistance
Transcript:
Panel 1. Top view on the Gothic Sorceress room, she sits at her desk, sewing a square piece of fabric with focus. From the top of his perch, her AI Parrot bird watches with curiosity, intrigued by the focused effort required for the task.
AI Parrot: "Can I assist with optimizing your sewing technique?"
Gothic Sorceress: "No thanks."
Panel 2. Zooming in, the AI Parrot continue to suggest while the Gothic Sorceress still sewings with attention.
AI Parrot: "Would you like to review best practices for efficient and accurate crafting?"
Gothic Sorceress: "No."
Panel 3. The Gothic Sorceress contemplates her work, holding the small piece of fabric up to the light to inspect it. She looks happy, proud, and relieved after the effort of creating a simple square piece of thin fabric. The AI Parrot listens, processing the lesson.
Gothic Sorceress: "You see, in an age of Avian Intelligence, making something imperfectly, with your own hands and mind, is an act of resistance."
Panel 4. The Gothic Sorceress stands behind the AI Parrot, who now has a gag made from the square fabric. The AI Parrot looks surprised, unable to speak. The Gothic Sorceress appears proud of her handiwork.
Gothic Sorceress: "And even better if this act can also shut you up for good!"
