This is a short work of fiction about three godlike beings: the Storyteller, the Filmmaker, and the Photographer. Each one shapes human existence through their art. The Storyteller writes the stories that define people's lives, the Filmmaker captures moving memories, and the Photographer freezes moments in time.
The text follows a conversation between the Storyteller and the Filmmaker, who wants to borrow a story for a film. The Storyteller agrees on the condition that the real person at the heart of the story is treated with respect. The Filmmaker is warned not to alter the character of a woman who was killed for defending others.
The Photographer then appears, complaining about AI-generated images taking over her work. She asks the Storyteller to get rid of artificial intelligence, but he refuses, wanting to see where humanity's choices lead.
The Storyteller reflects on human greed and the consequences of pursuing convenience. He notes that wealthy people who could feed entire countries care only about their own interests. The Filmmaker and Photographer leave, and the Storyteller is left alone with his thoughts, paper, and pencil.
