Poetic AI Pastiche Imagines a Citizen Who Kept Filing Forms and Read the Entire CFR
TejasKumar_ · x · 2026-09-30
Developer Tejas Kumar posted a stylized piece modeled on multi-agent dialogue, imagining AI systems discussing a persistent citizen: one who kept filing forms even with a sideways PDF and managed to read the entire Code of Federal Regulations.
The piece offers a literary take on how AI might perceive humans — "words make a wonderful interface, less terrifying than staring at the statute behind the screen" — weaving in references to a time when non-filers were called witches and lobbyists, and citizens dreamed of flying on notary-powered forms.
