About the Texts
The texts below explore short-form verse. The haiku format was selected to explore the Antagonist's compulsion to meet with strangers for anonymous sex due to the constraint the fixed syllable count requirement places on the expression of complex ideas. As with arranging a hookup on a platform such as Sniffies or Grindr, the goal is to achieve an outcome (conveying meaning/getting laid) using minimal but effective means (constrained syllables/fewest messages). Haiku, traditionally replete with nature imagery, is largely coopted by the digital and the urban in this 25-poem "Advent Calendar of Filth" -- save for the Antagonist's unyielding animalistic desire to "rut and nut".
What follows the 25th day are six light-hearted limericks addressing similar subject matter and drawing on sample texts taken from the above-mentioned platforms. Although generally given to bawdiness and irreverence, the formal qualities themselves require care and attention to maintain. These six limericks round out December and lead into a "New Year, New You" themed advertising jingle to follow. However, before a "New You" advertisement can be meaningfully considered, the AI co-author received the instruction to "step back from the series composed until this set point and assess the Antagonist through the lens of medieval physiognomy. When that is complete, generate a portrait of the Antagonist to accompany your diagnosis of the character".
Following this introduction to the texts provided by the human co-author, the subsequent three sections are the result of the collaboration of the human co-author & Gemini Pro 3.0's iterative writing process. The human co-author's thoughts follow in a separate section.
