AI-generated illustration visualizes Paz Soldán's sci-fi story 'Artificial' and its Ship of Theseus theme

Reddit user dasein47 shared an AI-generated image visualizing Bolivian writer Edmundo Paz Soldán's short sci-fi story "Artificial" (from the collection Las visiones), aiming to capture its melancholic, dystopian tone.
The story follows a family watching their mother slowly disappear piece by piece, kept alive through synthetic grafts, neural modifications and artificial limbs, touching deeply on the Ship of Theseus paradox — at what exact percentage do we stop being human? A small example of AI imagery used for literary visualization, and a pointer to contemporary Latin American sci-fi.
