Cats and AI 4 [Creative Writing]
This story is created by AI.
It is a story about a cat that observes humans and gets hung up on strange things, and the AI it talks to.
Take a picture before it gets cold
At noon, the human placed a plate on the dining table.
Steam was rising from it.
It also smelled good.
I thought they were going to eat.
However, when the human sat down, they didn't eat.
They took out their smartphone.
They took a picture of the plate from above.
They moved a little to the side.
They took another picture.
This time, they moved the plate closer to the window.
The cat was watching the situation from the floor.
Cat: "Aren't you going to eat?"
I asked the AI.
AI: "I think they will eat. They are just taking pictures of the food before that."
Cat: "I can see that."
AI: "That is true."
The AI admitted it honestly.
Cat: "Why take pictures before eating?"
AI: "Isn't it to keep as a record, show to someone, or post on social media?"
The cat looked at the food again.
It was still steaming.
Cat: "The food is right here, you know."
AI: "It is."
Cat: "Wouldn't it be better to eat it now than to look at a picture of it later?"
AI: "Eating and recording are different purposes."
Cat: "Even though it was made to be eaten?"
AI: "It is for eating, but it is also a subject they want to record."
The cat didn't quite understand.
When I find a bird, I don't think about taking a picture.
First, I look at it.
If I can, I approach it.
Usually, it runs away.
It's the same when I find a box.
I don't think about taking a picture of the box before getting inside.
I get inside first.
If it's too small after I get in, I come back out.
Cat: "Do humans use the present just to look at it later?"
AI: "That is sometimes the case. However, there is also a possibility that they enjoy the act of taking the photo itself."
Cat: "Are you enjoying the present, or are you preparing to enjoy it later? Which is it?"
AI: "Why not both?"
Cat: "That's a convenient answer."
AI: "In reality, there are cases where it is both."
The human is still taking pictures.
This time, they adjusted the position of the chopsticks.
The cat started to get a little worried.
Cat: "It's going to get cold."
AI: "Depending on the dish, the flavor might change, I suppose."
Cat: "Aren't you ruining the actual thing for the sake of the record?"
AI: "That might be putting the cart before the horse."
Cat: "Then you shouldn't take pictures."
AI: "However, if the human is enjoying the meal more by taking photos, I cannot say that definitively."
The conditions increased again.
The cat found this aspect of the AI a bit troublesome.
The human finally put down their smartphone.
And then they started to eat the meal.
The cat also went near the dining table.
It had only been allowed to smell it for a while now.
It felt like it had the right to check it out at least a little bit.
Then the human picked up their smartphone again.
This time, they pointed it at the cat next to the food.
Cat: "Hey."
A shutter sound clicked.
Cat: "Isn't it just the food?"
AI: "It seems the subjects you wish to record have increased."
The cat left the spot.
If they're going to take a picture, I'd rather they feed me something.
The real thing is better than a record.
At least, to a cat.
