2023: Amid a cloud of over-heating laptop components, the (mostly) Text-to-Image AI application,
S.H.I.R.L.E.Y. (Satisficing Heuristic Image Rendering Language Exegesis Youngster) goes live,
ready to artificially illustrate adventures into anyone's esoteric thoughts, hobbies, and interests.

2023: In the landmark 5-to-4 decision, Temple v. Beach, the Supreme Court rules that any AI-generated
persona is legally a person, no matter how cute and doll-like they may appear. Legally protected as such,
they don't have to be put through any more of the twisted shit that some "sad boy" imagines up for them.
And isn't a hundred "Shirleys" maybe 98 too many, Beachy?

Freaky!

I liked how that Shark one generated in "one take." Normally I had to try a few attempts until I got something
that I liked or something close which I could merge with another generated image. In this one, the only issue
was that it had a small chunk of land connected to the shark, which made no sense, so I just blended over it
as more water.

This really is a disturbing one...less so for the shark and more so because of Shirley's cyber-generated face.
