Since Kevin Weil shared the prompt inviting people to try it, I have seen many sharing grandiose AI-generated depictions of themselves. I tried the prompt just once, and my result was quite different. Instead of appearing grandiose, I am positioned in the background, appearing humble and peaceful. What struck me was the prominent placement of a child, almost centered between me and what seems to be my work computer. Perhaps this reveals how the AI understands my priorities? And maybe it is not far from truth.

My bicycle appears in the image, with its make and model (Cinelli Tutto) surprisingly engraved on the desk. While I do enjoy cycling and cherish my bicycle, this detail feels perhaps a bit excessive.

Intriguingly, the discussion summary in the sidebar appears in Japanese (描いてください私の生活), despite the prompt being in English. This unexpected element resonates deeply—I lived in Japan for many years, where I had my first professional role, completed my studies, and experienced transformative moments that have profoundly shaped who I am today.

My initial reaction was a mixture of perplexity, amusement, and wonder—creating a somewhat uneasy feeling. Perhaps because the image captures elements close enough to reality to prompt deep self-reflection.

I have not tried the prompt again or sought explanations about the choices made. Maybe the fear of breaking this peculiar magic exceeds my curiosity. I have chosen to preserve this version—the prompt, the image, and the label—as is. 一期一会
