An Author's Struggle - What Lies Ahead
In 2030, the advent of AI quakes civilization at its core. The unexpected ramifications of its use sends ripples across each facet of society. Economics, service, transportation, media — all suffer from mass layoffs.
Homes are lost, businesses crumble, and families fall apart, all thanks to the overlords they readily welcomed in. The promised high-tech world — a false prophecy, made by corporations who no longer wished to rely on the whims of capricious humans.
Writers suffer the most, as AI readily replaces what dwindling impact they had on society to begin with. A single prompt could outperform a thousand working hours, and months of bitter editing. The world was living in a fantasy of their own, and writers were no longer needed in it.
Morpheus was once a top writer, but now he finds himself unable to keep up. His contract with the QiE-Novel Megacorp hangs like an ever-tightening noose around him. He lives and breathes at their mercy.
When an accident occurs, he finds himself ruthlessly cut off. Full of resentment, he lashes out, and they readily take the opportunity to end his contract. It was the last straw, and he buckles. Spending his last days writing unseen poems of woes, he eventually perishes.
