Shen created a sci-fi story from a 43,000-character draft in just three hours, using 66 clues. The unique storyline sets the stage from the first three lines generated by artificial intelligence. At the edge of the metaverse lies the Land of Memories, a forbidden realm where humans are prohibited from entering. This is where complete illusions live, created by humanoid robots and AI who have lost their memory. Any violator, be it a human or an artificial creature, will lose his memory and remain forever in her forbidden embrace. The plot centers on a metaverse researcher named Li Xiao, who worked as a neuroengineer in the real world. Having accidentally lost all the memories of her family during an experiment, she becomes interested in the legend of the Land of Memories and hopes that in the metaverse she will be able to restore her lost memories…
The publisher of the work claims that AI poses a threat to writers and causes irreparable damage to the literary language.
