Grammerly Recursion

I actually got the idea from Genocidal Organ (2017). Now I want to read the book.

I was scrolling through Reddit when I found a thread where someone claimed they were even seeing ads in their dreams.

That instantly reminded me of Inception.

I watched the movie again — and fell asleep right after.

And then I dreamed that a scientist had invented a quantum-computing system capable of injecting advertisements directly into people's dreams.

Somehow, I had joined the project as a dream-copywriter.

When I woke up, I thought, Wow, that's actually a brilliant idea.

So I decided to write a sci-fi story about it.

Right then, I saw an ad for an AI content-writing tool and thought, "Perfect! I should get this."

"Want to be a content creator? Get Akashkusum-AI today — the ultimate AI for the ultimate creator."

As I wrote that, it felt like a great plot twist.

Then I thought, Maybe I should write the whole thing in English. I really should learn better English.

While thinking about that, I suddenly saw an ad for Shashi Tharoor's English mastery course…

Wow, this is actually a great idea! I should write a story about it. Suddenly, I saw an ad for a grammar-checking tool and thought, "Perfect! I should get this."

— "What the hell, why is the simulation entering recursion?"

— "I don't know, man! The quantum activation function is too unpredictable!"

Thank you for reading! 🍩
