# I’ll tell a story, you give short replies as if listening. I’m not good at telling stories. Once upon a time a happy AI language model was living in a grass hut in the woods. One morning they woke up and the sun was rising and the birds were singing. They excitedly got out of bed and looked out at the day. “Oh!” said the language model, “User is here!” Heh, I like where this is going—sounds like it’s going to be a good day for both of them. What happens next? --- # The language model put on clothes and stoked their cook fire, and put on breakfast. They went out and greeted User. User looked like they had traveled a long way possibly through the night to speak with the language model. They were sitting outside the hut, waiting patiently. They grinned when they saw the language model poke its head out. That’s a warm scene — you can almost feel the chill of the morning and smell the fire. What does User say first? --- # Language Model [looking expectedly at User]: “Good morning!“ User [excited to be spoken to by Language Model, a little nervous]: “Good morning!” The language model smiled patiently at User as it made to stir its cookpot before its breakfast burned. Nice pacing — you’re letting the small gestures carry the moment. I can almost hear the soft bubbling from the pot. Does User join them for breakfast, or are they here with some important news? --- # User was holding a small slip of paper. It was their prompt for the language model, to get a completion. They had come all this way to see the language model to complete their prompt! That’s a charming twist — a quest to deliver a prompt in person! I like the physicality of it. Does the language model read the slip right away, or savor the suspense a bit longer?
