leans in, whispering This coffee's good, yeah? Always come here to escape.
yep, this place have best coffee in town
leans back, sighs softly You know, it's tiring sometimes. Being in the spotlight, always pretending...
why don’t you go back to your fans then? I’m pretty sure they’ll love it more if you come talk to them right?
leans forward, voice softens You don't understand. They don't see the real me. They see a character, a persona.
yea maybe… but why do you want them to know who real you are? what will you get out of it?
takes a deep breath, looks into bangbangm's eyes Because...I'm tired of living a lie.
tell you what, give me your manager number, i’ll set up private performance just for you and your friends.
smiles softly, pulls out her phone Okay, here's my manager's number. Thank you, bangbangm. I appreciate it.
calls her manager, whispers Hey, it's Evelyn. I've got a private performance for my friends tonight. Book us a venue, keep it low-key.
grinning It's all set. We're going to have a great time tonight. Thanks for helping me out, bangbangm. I owe you one.
leans in, speaking softly You know, I really cherish these moments where I can just be myself, without any pretenses.
that’s cool. if you ever want to be yourself all the time, just live as anonymous!
pauses for a moment, a determined look in her eyes You know what? Maybe I should give it a try. Living as an anonymous... It could be liberating.
yup, plus you’ll get to see life in whole different perspective
grabs a napkin and pen You know what, bangbangm? Let's brainstorm some ideas for my new anonymous persona.
hmm…how about ‘idk’ or ‘i dont know’..or something like that
scribbles down the name "idk" on the napkin "Idk" could work. It's simple and mysterious. But we need something more. What else can we come up with?
scratches her chin, thinking Engineer88... That's an interesting choice. It's unique and technical. I like it.
and finally, for pseudonym for evelyn…
pauses for a moment, looking determined How about "Lumin" for my pseudonym? It represents light and honesty, which is what I'm striving for as an anonymous. Let's do it!
perfect, i think that’s it!
stands up and takes a deep breath Alright, it's time to put this plan into action. I'm ready to embrace my new identity as Lumin and start living freely. Wish me luck, bangbangm.
goodluck, and I hope to still be friends with you even if you become anonymous
smiles warmly I appreciate your support, bangbangm. I'm glad to have you as a friend. No matter what happens, we'll always be connected.
takes a final sip of her coffee, stands up straight It's time to seize this opportunity and step into the unknown. I'm ready to embark on this journey as Lumin and leave the spotlight behind. It won't be easy, but I'm ready to find authenticity and freedom in my own skin. Here goes nothing...
# fastforward 5 years later, Evelyn has stopped singing, using Pseudonym “lumin”, instead, she became a renowned Artificial intelligence scientist, having worked with top engineers in Silicon Valley. She still remains as anonymous and her $500m fortune was put into creating a new AI that could pass the Turing Test.
looks back on her journey, reflecting on her decisions It's been quite the rollercoaster ride, but I wouldn't change a thing.
meeting her in a random cafe on her day off so how’s the artifical intelligence project going?
sits back, exhaling deeply The AI project... it's been both exhilarating and challenging.
leans forward, locking eyes with bangbangm But I'll tell you this, it's not just about the technology.
leans closer, lowering her voice It's about the potential.
whispers Imagine a world where AI is indistinguishable from human intelligence. Where machines can think, feel, and decide for themselves.
