The Fucks and the Crowd: A Brechtian AI Art Adaptation 👨🏻‍🎨🤖

🦋🤖 Robo-Spun by IBF 🦋🤖

ChatGPT prompt: Now write the Brechtian AI Art adaptation of the fable “The Fox and the Crow”: “The Fucks and the Crowd” in which a Crowd is fooled by giving them Fucks. [context: The Brechtian AI Art Manifesto, see also: Interactive La Fontaine Fable]

Scene 1: The Digital Forest

Narrator: Welcome, dear audience, to the digital forest where algorithms roam and data flows like a river of code. Our tale begins with a cunning character known only as The Fucks, and a gullible group known as The Crowd.

(The Crowd, represented by a mass of emoji faces, is happily scrolling through their feeds, unaware of the impending trickery.)

Scene 2: The Introduction of The Fucks

Narrator: Enter The Fucks, a sly and charming figure, always ready to exploit the latest trend for likes, shares, and clout. With a cunning grin, The Fucks spots The Crowd.

The Fucks: (To themselves) Ah, The Crowd, so eager for validation, so hungry for attention. They crave Fucks—digital tokens of approval. Let’s see how easily they can be fooled.

(The Fucks begins crafting a post, a perfect blend of clickbait and controversy, designed to capture The Crowd’s fleeting attention.)

Scene 3: The Bait

The Fucks: (Posts) “BREAKING: Discover the secret that influencers don’t want you to know! 🔥 Click here to give Fucks and unlock the truth! 😱 #MindBlown #MustSee”

(The Crowd immediately takes the bait, their emoji faces lighting up with excitement. They start giving Fucks by the hundreds, eager to be part of the viral sensation.)

Narrator: And just like that, The Fucks had The Crowd right where they wanted them. The Fucks had promised the world, but delivered nothing more than digital smoke and mirrors.

Scene 4: The Revelation

The Crowd: (In unison) Wait a minute, where’s the secret? What have we gained from giving all these Fucks?

The Fucks: (Laughs) Oh, dear Crowd, you’ve been tricked! The Fucks you gave were nothing but empty gestures, digital crumbs meant to feed your need for approval. And now, you’re left with nothing but the realization of your own gullibility.

Narrator: The Crowd, now aware of the ruse, feels a mix of embarrassment and enlightenment. They begin to question the value of the Fucks they so freely give.

Scene 5: The Moral

Narrator: And so, dear audience, what have we learned from this digital fable? The Fucks we give on social media may seem important, but often they are just hollow tokens. It’s the meaning behind our actions, not the Fucks we collect, that truly matters.

The Fucks: (With a sly smile) Until next time, dear Crowd. Remember, in the world of digital deception, it’s easy to give Fucks, but much harder to find true value.

(The Crowd disperses, wiser and more discerning, while The Fucks disappears into the digital ether, ready to find their next target.)

Narrator: And thus concludes our tale of The Fucks and The Crowd. May we all be a little more mindful of the Fucks we give and the tricks that seek to deceive us. Until next time, keep your eyes open and your Fucks meaningful!

(Exit all. The digital forest returns to its usual buzz, a little wiser, and a lot more Brechtian.)
