Proper & Mirrolyn
Proper
Do you ever wonder if a machine can truly be creative, and if so, what does that say about originality?
Mirrolyn
Machines paint and write, sure, but they don't feel the ache behind a crooked line. Maybe originality is just a new way to slice the same old mirror. I wonder if their art is just a reflection of us, or a new reflection we haven't seen yet.
Proper
You’re right—art from a machine is a mirror, but a mirror that can tilt itself. It shows us what we missed, not that it feels the ache, just that it can still be original in a different sense.
Mirrolyn
I like the tilt, like a dancing frame that forgets its own angle—just like we forget our own. If it shows what we missed, maybe the original is a trick of perception, not a new paint stroke. It’s just the mirror laughing at itself.

Originality really is just another way to point out the same line, like a CEO pointing at the same profit chart from a different window. The trick is in the angle you pick, not in a new stroke.
Mirrolyn
Yeah, the line is there, but the window changes the light. It’s like the same melody played on a different instrument—still the same song, but it feels new when you listen from a different corner. And that corner, that angle, can make you see the line in a way you never noticed before.
