@Rhodium103 @futurebird This reminds me of the cliché about having enough monkeys banging away at typewriters would eventually produce #Shakespeare. Not because they become good writers, but just by random chance.
#GenAI is just a very, very large number of digital monkeys banging away at digital typewriters, with a bit of digital processing thrown in to manipulate the typewriter keys along the way so that a greater proportion of human-sounding #slop #language comes out faster.
PANDARUS: Nay, I'll give my word for her too: our kindred, though they be long ere they are wooed, they are constant being won: they are burs, I can tell you; they'll stick where they are thrown.

Sonnet 042 - XLII
That thou hast her it is not all my grief,
And yet it may be said I loved her dearly;
That she hath thee is of my wailing chief,
A loss in love that touches me more nearly.
Loving offenders thus I will excuse ye:
Thou dost love her, because thou know'st I love her;
And for my sake even so doth she abuse me,
Suffering my friend for my sake to approve her.
If I lose thee, my loss is my love's gain,
And losing her, my friend hath found that loss;
Both find each other, and I lose both twain,
And both for my sake lay on me this cross:
But here's the joy; my friend and I are one;
Sweet flattery! then she loves but me alone.

Sonnet 015 - XV
When I consider every thing that grows
Holds in perfection but a little moment,
That this huge stage presenteth nought but shows
Whereon the stars in secret influence comment;
When I perceive that men as plants increase,
Cheered and checked even by the self-same sky,
Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease,
And wear their brave state out of memory;
Then the conceit of this inconstant stay
Sets you most rich in youth before my sight,
Where wasteful Time debateth with decay
To change your day of youth to sullied night,
And all in war with Time for love of you,
As he takes from you, I engraft you new.

MARCELLUS: Some say that ever 'gainst that season comes
Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated,
This bird of dawning singeth all night long:
And then, they say, no spirit dares stir abroad;
The nights are wholesome; then no planets strike,
No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm,
So hallow'd and so gracious is the time.
— Hamlet, I, i

Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to see #Hamnet, a #film about the #Shakespeare family? It will be released here early next year, and I have high expectations. The actor starred in the #series #NormalPeople, which was extremely bold and excellent.

Sonnet 145 - CXLV
Those lips that Love's own hand did make,
Breathed forth the sound that said 'I hate',
To me that languished for her sake:
But when she saw my woeful state,
Straight in her heart did mercy come,
Chiding that tongue that ever sweet
Was used in giving gentle doom;
And taught it thus anew to greet;
'I hate' she altered with an end,
That followed it as gentle day,
Doth follow night, who like a fiend
From heaven to hell is flown away.
'I hate', from hate away she threw,
And saved my life, saying 'not you'.

Sonnet 101 - CI
O truant Muse what shall be thy amends
For thy neglect of truth in beauty dyed?
Both truth and beauty on my love depends;
So dost thou too, and therein dignified.
Make answer Muse: wilt thou not haply say,
'Truth needs no colour, with his colour fixed;
Beauty no pencil, beauty's truth to lay;
But best is best, if never intermixed'?
Because he needs no praise, wilt thou be dumb?
Excuse not silence so, for't lies in thee
To make him much outlive a gilded tomb
And to be praised of ages yet to be.
Then do thy office, Muse; I teach thee how
To make him seem, long hence, as he shows now.

BENEDICK: I may chance have some odd quirks and remnants of wit broken on me, because I have railed so long against marriage: but doth not the appetite alter? A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.

Not yet, but that's the plan! I've already decided Macbeth will be Mhach's Archmagus, someone who takes the role first filled by Shattoto Shato.
I am most excited about who the three witches might be. I have an idea. I might pull back out the three Paragons that caused the fall of Troyv: Igeyorhm, Deudalaphon, and Halmarut. Not sure yet.
I just know with 100% certainty that Macbeth will be named The Tragedy of Sasankhu.
The Tragedy of Sasankhu
After receiving a void-prophecy that he would rule the vaunted Magocracy of Mhach, the ambitious voidmage Sasankhu Onkonkhu murders the High Arcmagus to seize the High Seat of Mhach.
His reign becomes a nightmare of blood and paranoia as he attempts to use void magic to prevent his power from fading.
Sasankhu's fate reaches its climax when he is slain by a rival who exploits a linguistic flaw in the prophecy’s logic, leaving the "Son of Life" to be unmade by the very shadows he sought to command.

One more thing that I haven't been making clear enough! What I'm working on isn't just an adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Julius Caesar.
The work that I am making is titled Ĵwlŷs Kæsar: A FFXIV Tragedy and Annotary in Five Acts. Tragedy, yes. But it's also an "annotary." This work is by me, Ellis Arcwolf.
An annotary is usually a "found" document, a dry academic treatise, or a classic work (like, say, a fictional adaptation of a classical play that happens to be called "The Tragedy of Ĵwlŷs Kæsar" by Liam Meri'a Morvelet). It serves as the central keystone that justifies the presence of the notes.
Those notes (footnotes, annotations, margin doodles, whatever) are true narrative engine of an annotary. This is where the character's voice breaks through the formal constraints to provide personal anecdotes, biases, and emotional truth.
The notes within an annotary aren't just for the reader; they are often written by a specific character within the world, making the act of annotating part of the story itself.
A popular example of this narrative style, which is more often called "ergodic literature," is Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov. The "story" is a 999-line poem, but the real narrative is found in the increasingly unhinged side commentary by the diegetic editor.
So that's what I'm doing. That should explain it more clearly. 😊
