As the satellite orbited the Earth, its camera captured an awesome view of the little virgin planet below. Swirls of white fluffy clouds drifted across the blue expanse of the oceans like some gods long beard, while vast stretches of mottled green and beige marked the landmasses.

Zooming in, the camera honed in on a particular bright city, Amsterdam. It flew closer and closer, and as it descended, the clouds grew thicker, obscuring the view to only a few meters. Eventually we penetrate the cloud cover, to reveal the sprawling metropolis below and onto a nondescript building tucked away on a quiet street. Inside the building, in a laboratory filled with turntables, mixers, and synthesizers, stand two figures. Jake’s fingers deftly sweep across the controls of a mixing board, while Plush leans over a custom marble keyboard, his headphones on.

The camera hovered in the air for a moment, capturing the lab scene in all its intricate 360 degrees of detail. The blinking lights on the equipment catch the sweat droplets on the brows of the two producers, the posters on the wall showcasing their past gigs flutter with the sub bass patterns.

Then, with a sudden jolt, the camera descended further, as if hurtling towards the laboratory at breakneck speed. Through the glass walls, it enters the beads of sweat on Jake’s forehead, the intensity in Plush’s eyes flash from inside the droplet. The camera stops, hovering just above the turntable where the two producers were working, their deft hands are a blur as they tweak knobs and push buttons, sending electricity bolts coursing through the room. The textual-music they create is a fusion of the past and the future. 

And so, Jake stayed awake for the next three days with Plush, typing away at his keyboard, getting it down and out. With an AI by his side, words flowed effortlessly from his mind onto the screen. It was as if a switch had been flipped, and he was finally able to unleash his imagination. As he wrote on and rapped freely, he was transported back in time to the world of his previous novel, a flash back with Plush and Max on stage. He was so immersed in his work that he barely noticed the passing of time. Jake’s phone beeped twice, The Nine commandments were baked:

1. Use generative A.I. ethically and responsibly. This includes avoiding the creation of biassed or offensive language, and ensuring that the generated language is respectful and accurate.
2. Understand the limitations of generative A.I. These tools are not perfect and may produce errors or produce language that is not fully coherent. It is important to use them with caution and to be aware of their limitations.
3. Be open to new ideas and perspectives when using generative A.I. These tools can help to expose you to different ways of thinking and communicating, and can be a valuable resource for exploring new concepts and ideas.
4. Continuously learn and improve your understanding of generative A.I. These tools are constantly evolving, and it is important to stay up-to-date with the latest developments and best practices in order to use them effectively.
5. Use generative A.I. to enhance your own writing and communication skills, rather than relying on them solely to do the work for you. These tools can be a valuable resource, but it is important to develop your own skills and abilities as well.
6. Be mindful of the impact that generative A.I. can have on language and communication. These tools have the potential to influence the way we communicate, and it is important to consider the potential consequences of their use.
7. Use generative A.I. in a way that is transparent and accountable. This includes clearly disclosing the use of these tools, and being open and honest about any limitations or errors that may arise.
8. Respect the intellectual property and copyright of others when using generative A.I. These tools should not be used to produce unauthorised copies of copyrighted material.
9. Use generative A.I. to create positive and constructive content. These tools should not be used to produce harmful or offensive language, or to spread misinformation or disinformation.

As the recording session with Plush and Jake came to a close, they fist bumped each other in celebration of a successful session. The equipment was turned off and packed away, and the two producers made their way out of the laboratory, setting the alarms and locking the door behind them.

However, they had accidentally left one of the microphones on. The sound signal from the microphone had travelled through the air until it reached a nearby cellular tower. From there, the signal was transmitted via phone networks, hopping from tower to tower, until it was picked up by a satellite in orbit.

The satellite, along with countless others, relayed the signal across vast distances, until it finally reached an office in Moscow. The office was located in a towering grey skyscraper, filled with people in suits staring intently at computer screens.

The signal was received by a group of men and women, huddled around a monitor displaying a waveform graph. They listened intently, trying to decipher the audio, as it crackled and hissed with static. They worked quickly, isolating and filtering out the background noise, until the audio became clear and crisp.

What they heard stunned them. It was the voices of Plush and Jake, discussing a secret project. The captured conversation was brief, like the sexual habits of those huddled around the monitor. The group of people in the Moscow office thought that they had stumbled upon something big, and they immediately set to work, scouring the internet and hacking into servers, trying to uncover more information on Plush, Jake and DSR. The two producers had unwittingly set off a daisy-chain of events.
