The machine itself will be a first-person narrator. And although the narrator’s “I” masquerades as his own personality, in reality this is not the case at all. The narrator is always pretending to make us believe that he was an eyewitness to the stories he tells. Which is hardly true. But the machine very quickly got used to the first person, as well as all his rights and privileges. Suspiciously fast, in our opinion. <...>You realize yourself at some moment in time that has neither beginning nor end. And you soon realize that there is no way to start the first story, which would precede and explain all the others. Maybe start from the very beginning - but this is too simple to consider this possibility seriously. It is necessary to continue. And this is difficult. Something is always slipping away. Something remains outside the scope. This is why it is so difficult to create storytelling machines. You can continue, this is not a problem. But how - oh how? – should I start? I was in such confusion. From now on, understand that “I” is me. I am Scheherazade's machine, and my origins are shrouded in darkness. ..."
