 this is why AI is evil, as explained to a witch.
picture of an ai conversation:  "let's move on to a different topic, this time I think we should describe the poem's contents self-referentially as a 3rd person narrative, with the perspective being the subject and her thoughts. I'd like to use the analyze.lua function for more than simply extracting keywords, I'd also like to use it for transformation as well. can we make a new directory inside of the /theme-analysis/ directory that will store the narratives? it should be combined into a book with milky white pages and brighter-than-blood red. Nearly pink, but a bit more orange. It should utilize generative art to make the pages feel as if they are *oozing* in sharp stalagmite and stalagtite pictures. Could probably generate with mathematical functions and a bit of fuzzing (statistically) to create straight lines. Very sharp, though, like lines being carved in butter or blood or stone. It should feel painful to read. It should be a cursed artifact. each of these narratives can be stored in the /theme-analysis/narratives/ directory, and the narrative.lua script can be called from /theme-analysis/analyze.lua. This narrative script will indeed call into analyze as well, essentially as a reciprocal dependency. Instead of analyzing for word-cloud purposes, as /theme-analysis/analyze.lua is currently doing, it would have it's own slightly tailored processes for extracting a narrative from a series of short, segmented and semipseudo disconnected series of poems.  [the ai says yes]

 Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever
 you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that
 may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
 ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
 mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
 collective mind co-re-assigns.
