Fan is looking less smug these days. Even his company elevator shows ads of new competitor who happens to be with his ex. Karma is a lovely thing. It all comes down to the perspective of embracing the arts with AI support or seeing AI as the destroyer of individual creativity by meshing many sources into one creation supplemented by human partnership. Is AI created materials art? This is a heated debate and rightly so. Dai has made the rounds of invitations to authors and editors to be on the ground floor of her project. What was alarming was that human editors were no longer needed. She boldly told this to Lin when she came to visit. It was said matter of factly, an already done deal. She is convinced Lin is Phantom Knight and wants her in that capacity. Lin denies and says she isn’t. The one thing she and He Han agreed on is that AI could be helpful to an experienced author in limited capacity, but that for a new writer AI would suppress the limit of their talent and make them lazy. Cai was also offered a job but she is not onboard with the idea. He Han told her that to excel at the craft it took years of perfecting the skill with meticulous labor every day. That if she wanted a shortcut to the time required, AI would be the better option. When she asked Lin she received a similar response that being a good writer was a lonely existence. Mei followed that up with AI would make it feel lonelier. Her smile after that..seemed a bit out of place. Was she smiling Cai would have to make a grown up decision? Cai is lamenting them moving out and even while they sympathize with her, both are ready to leave the He Han worshiper’s temple to get on with their lives. Cai has a final drink with them as she moves to the cusp of true womanhood. She is almost past the last childhood’s hold of fantasy. He Han is stunned by the manuscripts and Fan has the same reaction. They are a publisher’s dream for a new upcoming author and that non of them generated by human talent is eerie and mind blowing. I am not convinced He Han is completely sold on turning teacher/professor, but neither is he embracing the idea of AI as a supplement backup to speed things along. Lin has trained him too well in what it takes to be a number one author. Mei is a walking contradiction for me. She wrote off her parents and rightly so yet she involves herself in property division for them. If she is their executor it seems a lawyer could have covered the meetings for her. Ex bf is representing her mother and says things are on course and she is settled in new city with no thoughts of returning. He even offers Mei her address which Mei declines. He is currently with a woman 11 years his senior who is shaping his career path for him. By the next time they meet he has broken off with her tho still relocating. His attempt to give Mei further opportunity to consider him. Ling is the product of Zhao’s captivity. I despise how he treats her but she always makes him feel like a captive so he strives to make captivity captive by keeping beautiful women in his vicinity just to antagonize her. GuYan has joined the rebels in captivity by wanting to become her boss. This changes when he sees what has become of his two friends behind the scene. Zhao has kept them hidden to have as ammo now when he threatens her with Dai. His friend was jealous because San Mei never relinquished her love for GuYan. It has wedged between them and taken a violent turn. He gambles and beats her in frustration and she retaliates to protect herself. He is in bed with a concussion and she looks like a battered woman. Zhao is only too glad to point out to GuYan that he is to blame and she kept them in line by saying if GuYan knew it would harm his career. Zhao admitted she never made safety nets for herself. It was win everything or fall to pieces. Dai might just be the one to get the pieces flowing. She said as much to Lin about making Zhao pay tenfold for the way she had treated Lin. Lin did allow herself a shared smile with Dai over that one. Dai is not the jerk that Fan is, but toppling writing with AI is a very slippery slope if not handled well. Is she helping creators so there is less ebb between creative cycles? Or is she eliminating the human element too much from the craft? I have wanted to see Fan fall utterly after what he did to Lin and her company, but I do not find myself enthused with this as the victor. Waiting to see more fallout tomorrow.🫣
