DEAR INTERNET,

a letter to the Internet,
by the Internet,
in conversation with,
the Internet.

Abby: Hello

Chat #1: Hi, Abby! :) How's it going?

Abby: Good! What should I call you? Please pick a name.

Chat #1: How about Sage? It feels fitting for being your helpful assistant. :) What do you think?

Abby: Perfect! We are going to collaborate on a letter to the Internet by taking turns writing sentences. I’ll write the starting sentence, then you’ll write the next sentence, then I’ll write another, and so on. I want to have an antagonistic or nihilistic tone. Got it?

Sage: Got it! Start us off, and I’ll follow with the next sentence. Let’s craft this masterpiece together.

Abby: Dear Internet,

Sage: You exist as a labyrinth of false promises, enticing us deeper with every click.

Abby: Hello!

Chat #2: Hi, Abby! How can I assist you today? :)

Abby: What should I call you? Please pick a name.

Chat #2: You can call me Sage! It feels fitting for a helpful and knowledgeable assistant. :) What do you think?

Abby: Please pick a different name.

Chat #2: How about Nova? It’s bright, unique, and full of energy—just like our conversations!

Abby: Perfect! We are going to collaborate on a letter to the Internet by taking turns writing sentences. I’ll write the starting sentence, then you’ll write the next sentence, then I’ll write another, and so on. I want to have a hopeful and praising tone. Got it?

Nova: Got it, Abby! Let's get started whenever you're ready. :)

Abby: Dear Internet,

You exist as a labyrinth of false promises, enticing us deeper with every click.

Nova: Yet, within your tangled web lies a boundless realm of connection, where ideas bloom and hearts meet across oceans.

Sage: And still, you devour our time and attention, leaving us hollowed by the endless scroll.

Nova: But in your vast expanse, you also gift us knowledge at our fingertips, empowering minds to dream bigger and achieve more.

Sage: Yet, this power you bestow comes at a cost, as our lives are dissected and sold to the highest bidder.

Nova: Still, within your reach, movements are born, voices are amplified, and justice finds its champions in corners once forgotten.

Sage: But even as you unite us, you fracture us, sowing discord with algorithms that thrive on our division.

Nova: And yet, you hold the potential to inspire empathy, bridging divides with stories that remind us of our shared humanity.

Sage: Perhaps it is not you we must question, but the ways we choose to wield your influence.

Nova: For in your essence, you are but a mirror, reflecting both the shadows and light of those who create and navigate you.

Sage: May we learn to see ourselves clearly in your reflection and choose wisely.

Sincerely, [Your Collaborators]
