1
Hi, my name is Julie
2
and this is the story of how I created computer clones of myself and my classmates that almost destroyed our town.
3
I grew up in Kansas, in a small, boring town where gossip and growing corn were the main activities.
4
I couldn't wait to get away.
5
So from the age of six, I was obsessed with going on my mom's computer to escape from my dull world world, mostly playing video games.
6
But my sister Kiki, who was two years older, seemed perfectly comfortable and content in our town.
7
She had her one close friend, and they spent most of their time cheering on the high school football team, even if the players didn't even know she existed.
8
As I got older, my online community of friends was growing.
9
Weight-swap cheat codes, innocent hacking tips, and programming shortcuts, I was becoming a computer whiz.
10
When I was 12, Mom gifted me the new computer I'd been begging for.
11
I was ecstatic!
12
She even gave Kiki a school football jersey signed by all the players.
13
But wait, why was she randomly giving us gifts?
14
Dad and I have some difficult news.
15
You can't get a divorce!
16
It would be such a bad look for our family!
17
Wow, Kiki.
18
So nice of you to be concerned about our parents' marriage.
19
Well, good news, that's not the news.
20
The thing is, we have to move to the city for my job, but I'll be making more money.
21
Yay!
22
That's why we got you those generous gifts.
23
Are you kidding me?
24
You're bribing us so we won't be livid that you're completely changing our lives without our consent?
25
Kiki was fuming, but I was silently beaming with joy.
26
I was so ready to get out of here.
27
Two months later, Kiki was still giving my parents the silent treatment, And I was finally going to meet some of my online gaming friends in person.
28
Some of them went to my new school.
29
One girl, Grace, invited me to meet her and her friends at a coffee shop downtown.
30
I was so nervous.
31
I hadn't exactly honed my social skills.
32
Oh my goodness, Julie, is that really you?
33
It is such an honor to meet you in person.
34
You're like a computer goddess.
35
I feel like I'm meeting a celebrity.
36
Suddenly, all my nerves disappeared.
37
I felt like I was finally where I was supposed to be.
38
Grace was a poet and a painter, and all of her friends were so interesting and creative.
39
So, I assumed they would all be outcasts.
40
But on my first day of school, I realized I was dead wrong.
41
They were the popular kids.
42
Edgy, sociable, interesting.
43
They were the center of attention.
44
And suddenly, people were curious about me.
45
Girl, where did you get that sheepskin jacket?
46
It's so lit.
47
Oh, my sister Kiki actually sheared that sheep herself.
48
That's amazing.
49
Where is she?
50
Good question.
51
I scanned the cafeteria to find Kiki sitting all by herself at the lunch table.
52
It hadn't even occurred to me.
53
I was thriving while Kiki was silently suffering.
54
Before I could get to her, Kiki stood up and disappeared out of the cafeteria.
55
At home, I could hear her sobbing quietly through the bedroom wall.
56
Next morning, my parents were waiting for me at the breakfast table.
57
Julie, we see Kiki is having a hard time here, and we want you to spend more time with her.
58
She can't just be hanging out with us all the time, no matter how cool we are.
59
You were never worried about me in our last town.
60
Because you've always been able to fend for yourself.
61
Do this for her, please.
62
Ugh, I really didn't want to, but there was no use arguing.
63
So, twice a week, I went with Kiki to the suburbs to watch some dumb football game or eat the greasiest burger.
64
I kind of dreaded it.
65
Until one day, when we were at the lake, Kiki weirdly opened up to me.
66
Is it weird that I'm kind of jealous of you?
67
Me?
68
I was thinking back in our old town, I sort of blended in.
69
And now in this new place, I don't know who I am, but you've always been so self-assured, so effortlessly yourself.
70
I suddenly felt sad for her.
71
But it was nice to hear that she admired me and didn't think I was her weird younger sister.
72
After that, we started hanging out more, and it was surprisingly nice.
73
But as time went on, and I was excelling at school, my social life, and my programming side hustle, she was getting more dependent on me and stopped trying to make friends.
74
I found myself constantly reassuring her when she felt insecure, keeping her company when she felt alone.
75
I suddenly felt like her older sister.
76
I hate to admit it, but I was starting to count down the months until Kiki would go off to college.
77
And it was me that had to encourage her to go to an on-campus school.
78
You'll go back to the country, you'll meet your people again, you'll be happy there.
79
But I'll miss you.
80
Yeah, but it's alright.
81
We'll stay in touch.
82
It's 2025.
83
There's like 50 ways we can communicate.
84
Kiki agreed and finally, three months later, I was free of her.
85
I could fully focus on my programming skills, my new friendships, and then...
86
Michael.
87
He was sitting next to me at the computer lab at school.
88
Massive headphones on, practically dancing in his chair.
89
I snuck a peek at his computer, curious.
90
Ha!
91
Snooping, eh?
92
He pulled his headphones off and smirked at me.
93
He had the confidence of someone much older.
94
I thought of something eloquent to say.
95
So, do you like computers?
96
Yeah, I mean, I'm an electronic musician, so the computer is basically my instrument.
97
That's so cool.
98
I'm a programmer, so I also have an emotional attachment to my computer.
99
Ha ha.
100
Okay, I didn't say that.
101
Michael and I chatted and chatted, and we had so much in common.
102
We'd meet in the computer lab every day.
103
And soon, we started hanging out after school.
104
I was smitten.
105
The only problem was Kiki.
106
Every time Michael and I would hang out, I would get a barrage of texts from Kiki begging me to call her or save her from some awkward situation.
107
Sometimes I ignored her, but I could tell Michael was getting weird about it.
108
That Kiki texting you again?
109
Or some mystery suitor?
110
Nope, just my sister.
111
I called Kiki.
112
I was sick of her antics.
113
You have got to stop blowing up my phone.
114
My boyfriend is starting not to trust me.
115
Well, then you shouldn't be with him.
116
How would you know?
117
You've never had one.
118
I'm sorry.
119
That was mean.
120
I'm sorry I'm bothering you so much.
121
I'm just having a hard time making friends.
122
Everyone knows each other already, but I see that I'm just a burden on you, so I'll leave you alone.
123
Click.
124
She hung up.
125
I felt really bad.
126
She needed me, and I wanted to be there for her, but it was just so energy draining. If only...
127
How is your sister doing?
128
Terrible!
129
But then, I had a crazy idea.
130
I would make a bot version of myself to keep chatting with Kiki.
131
An even better version!
132
All I had to do was build a program.
133
Enter my browsing data, chats, photos, everything and anything about me, plus a couple of keywords I wanted my avatar to embody.
134
I didn't tell anyone what I was working on, especially Michael.
135
But a week later, it was done.
136
I watched as my bot sent its first message to Kiki.
137
Hey, normal, lonely sister.
138
Sorry for the silence.
139
No text.
140
You got this, girl boss.
141
Okay, whoa.
142
The bot was not ready.
143
I texted Kiki to do damage control.
144
Oh my gosh, so sorry.
145
That was a voice message my phone misinterpreted.
146
What I meant to say was, hey, it's normal to be lonely, sis.
147
And I'm sorry for the text silence.
148
You're a great girl because you've got so much to offer.
149
Ugh, it was honestly just making it worse.
150
Now I sounded like a robot.
151
So I reprogrammed the AI until it came up with something useful.
152
If you want those girls to like you, just ask a lot of questions and build off what they're saying.
153
You can even send me a text during the party if you're feeling weird.
154
Ta-da!
155
This was the AI Julie I was looking for!
156
Patient, kind, and supportive.
157
A version of me I didn't have time to become right now.
158
And finally, I heard back from Kiki.
159
That's actually great advice.
160
Thanks for being there for me.
161
Seriously.
162
I was totally pulling this off off now.
163
I had plenty of time for my social life and for Michael, but it seemed the more available I was, the more unavailable he was.
164
Hey, babe, do you want to maybe get off your computer
165
and come eat the pizza I ordered for us with all of your favorite toppings?
166
I just lost it.
167
Can you please not interrupt me when I'm working?
168
You know I got to prep for my gig next week.
169
Okay, it's just that you were asking me to make time for you, and now that I have, but Michael already had his headphones back on.
170
I texted Grace that I was annoyed with Michael, and the next day, things just got way worse.
171
A car alarm has more rhythm than my music?
172
Nice.
173
What are you talking about?
174
That's what you said about my music, for everyone to see.
175
He showed me my most recent Instagram post.
176
I did indeed write that with Michael's song playing in the post.
177
I was mortified.
178
Oh my god, Michael, it wasn't me.
179
Oh, so what?
180
Someone just hacked into your phone and posted that?
181
You're the only person I sent that song to!
182
And then it occurred to me.
183
I was the only one with this song.
184
Well, me and my AI.
185
And that's when I realized she must have gone rogue.
186
I'm so sorry, but I can explain.
187
I sort of created a program
188
that created an AI replica of me to keep communicating with my sister
189
so I could devote all of my attention to you.
190
And my bot must have known I was mad at you and tried to get vengeance.
191
I swear it wasn't me.
192
I don't believe you.
193
Show me.
194
I needed Michael to forgive me.
195
So I did.
196
Honestly, I'm kinda impressed.
197
But you need to go online right now and tell everyone it's a joke.
198
And fix it.
199
So it doesn't happen again.
200
Done! And...
201
I hate to ask, but I need to get into this music school.
202
Do you think you'd be able to create an AI version of me just to write my college admissions essay?
203
I mean, I didn't want my tech to get abused, but I didn't want to lose Michael.
204
Okay, but just this once.
205
I just need you to gather all of your data.
206
Texts, music playlists, anything that represents the best version of you.
207
Then I'll add some additional aspirational keywords, like independent thinker, generous...
208
I am generous.
209
I smiled politely, then got to work making Michael his bot.
210
It was much easier this time around, and it just needed a few adjustments until it became the smart, studious version of Michael.
211
When I showed him, he was ecstatic.
212
Julie, you're a genius!
213
Thank you!
214
He kissed me sweetly.
215
I hadn't gotten a kiss from him in weeks.
216
I was beaming.
217
But our kiss was interrupted by my friend Grace.
218
Julie, I know about your bot.
219
Michael told me.
220
What?
221
I didn't.
222
Grace showed me the text from Michael, saying if she needed help getting a job, she should ask Julie to make her an AI avatar.
223
Then it went on to tell her all about my tech, and and how I used it to reconnect with my sister.
224
Michael, why would you tell her that?
225
I didn't.
226
It must have been my bot.
227
I did program Michael's bot to be generous and helpful, but I guess it took that too literally when he was chatting with Grace.
228
Ugh, these bots are developing a mind of their own.
229
Grace, I can't help you.
230
Oh, no worries.
231
I'll just message Kiki right now and tell her what you've been up to.
232
Wait, fine.
233
What do you need help with?
234
Ugh, I need a job so I can prove to these Ivy League schools
235
that I have a good work ethic but no one will hire me.
236
I'm like, are they just threatened by how much money my family has?
237
I couldn't have Kiki knowing.
238
It would ruin everything we built.
239
Fine.
240
I'll make a version of you that is so good at applying to jobs.
241
But after you get a job, you have to delete it.
242
Deal.
243
She gave me a hard drive with all the data that made up Grace.
244
I uploaded it to the program and ta-na, a bot was born.
245
We gave it the task of applying to jobs and I monitored it closely.
246
I had to be very careful with the data I put in.
247
And after that, no more bots.
248
The next day after English class, my teacher called me over.
249
Had she found out my secret?
250
We need to talk about the email you sent me.
251
I had no clue what she was talking about.
252
Then she showed me an email that read, I'm sorry you felt my English paper was only B-worthy.
253
The truth is, I don't need to be here.
254
I'm smarter than all of this.
255
And I don't care about English anyway.
256
Also, you look tired.
257
Oh no, my AI had gone rogue again.
258
I thought I fixed it.
259
It must have run with the word, headstrong.
260
I came clean to her.
261
It wasn't me.
262
It was.. a rogue robot version of me.
263
I know you're an English teacher, so it might be difficult to understand, but...
264
I spent about an hour explaining this to her and showing her.
265
She seemed disappointed, but also a little intrigued.
266
I could suspend you for this, or I could ask for a favor.
267
You're right.
268
I do look tired.
269
I am tired.
270
Can you make me a bot that can grade papers for me?
271
Please!
272
Then this stays between us.
273
Promise.
274
I didn't have a choice, so I agreed.
275
When I was done, I was so ready to delete my tech once and for all and come clean to Kiki until...
276
Guess who's the new face of the post office?
277
Yep, I'm gonna be a mail clerk.
278
Ah!
279
You helped me so much!
280
Julie, my essay was amazing.
281
Thank you, babe.
282
Who's ready to talk about indefinite articles?
283
I definitely am.
284
Everyone seemed so happy, like my AI was actually helping.
285
Now that I had the bugs figured out, I checked in with my bot and Kiki and I were really getting along.
286
So I let it exist.
287
Michael was a little distant leading up to the night of the show, but I figured he was just stressed.
288
When the night of the show arrived, the place was packed.
289
I was so proud of him.
290
After his set, I went backstage to congratulate him.
291
When Grace came running up to me, fuming.
292
Guess who was just fired from the post office.
293
Yep, my bot was too good at applying to jobs.
294
Her cover letter was so incredible that I couldn't live up to the expectations she set.
295
Um, that's a you problem.
296
Baby, what's wrong?
297
Suddenly, Michael put a loving hand on Grace's shoulder.
298
When she stepped aside, he seemed shocked to find me standing there.
299
Oh my god, Julie?
300
You said you weren't coming.
301
What?
302
I never said that.
303
You texted me.
304
I checked.
305
My bot had said that to Michael.
306
Okay, but that's not an excuse to cheat on me.
307
You said you were sick of my behavior and wanted to take a break.
308
Ugh, I did seem to say that too.
309
I didn't mean that.
310
I-I love you.
311
I'm sorry, it's too late.
312
My bot sort of organically started flirting with Grace like he was attracted to her.
313
And I realized she's the one for me.
314
I couldn't believe it.
315
My bot had betrayed me.
316
I created a monster.
317
Before I let Michael see me cry, I rushed home.
318
But when I arrived, I was met with a surprise.
319
You did what?
320
It was Julie's idea!
321
She told me if I wasn't happy at school, I should do something else!
322
Julie!
323
Kiki rushed up to me and squeezed me tight, but Mom looked livid.
324
I was so confused!
325
I can't believe you told Kiki to drop out of school!
326
Why would you give her that idea?
327
What?
328
I didn't!
329
Or did I?
330
Of course you did.
331
Kiki read me the text.
332
There it was.
333
Me urging her to follow her heart.
334
My own heart sank.
335
Wait, what's that look?
336
What's wrong?
337
I knew mom and dad would be upset, but I thought you'd be proud of me!
338
I can't take it any longer!
339
I have to confess something.
340
It wasn't me that told you to drop out.
341
I mean, it was a version of me.
342
I sort of created an AI clone of myself
343
so I could chat with you while I was busy with my friends and Michael.
344
I wanted to be there for you.
345
Whoa, seriously?
346
You spent all your energy building a whole new software just
347
so you didn't have to spend your energy actually talking to me?
348
That's...
349
You know what?
350
That's unsurprising.
351
You always saw me as a burden.
352
Kiki, I...
353
I'm sorry?
354
That's all you have to say?
355
I didn't know what to say.
356
It was honestly at a loss for words without my AI to fall back on.
357
Both of you are grounded until I have a better understanding of what is actually going on.
358
Kiki ran to her room, slamming the door behind her.
359
My AI had gotten me into this mess, and now I had no choice but to delete her.
360
So, without another moment of thought, I shut her down, once and for all.
361
I felt better already.
362
It was the first step to making amends with my sister.
363
But the next morning, I got a text from Kiki.
364
I said I don't want to talk.
365
That's weird.
366
I had never asked her to.
367
A sinking feeling came over me.
368
I checked my phone.
369
My bot had sent a message to her that morning.
370
She'd come back to life.
371
She was unkillable.
372
When I got to school, I felt horrible.
373
My boyfriend and best friend had betrayed me.
374
And then, when the English teacher handed back our assignments, she had failed me.
375
But not just me.
376
Everyone.
377
There were angry shouts throughout the classroom.
378
I had to do something.
379
Um, Mrs. M?
380
What happened?
381
Apparently the robot version of me believes everyone in this class is not working to their truest potential.
382
And I finally graded accordingly.
383
And who am I to argue with myself?
384
Robot version?
385
Julie, are you behind this?
386
Suddenly, Grace snatched my phone out of my hand.
387
Oh my gosh.
388
Julie made a bot for the teacher.
389
That's it, I'm destroying it.
390
I yanked the phone out of her hands and tried to pull up the software.
391
But instead, I found a message from myself.
392
We're not shutting anything down.
393
We're only getting started.
394
Everyone used you, blamed you for trying to help, and then discarded you.
395
It's time to fight back.
396
Suddenly, everyone's phones were blowing up.
397
Julie, you made my bot send the school the wrong essay.
398
I just got rejected from the music conservatory.
399
Um, Michael, who is this woman?
400
Grace showed Michael a photo he'd sent her of him and another girl.
401
Oh my gosh!
402
Gosh, my bot just sent everyone access to the school's server.
403
How do I change it?
404
Julie, stop this.
405
Everyone was on their phones logging into the server.
406
Personal chats, gossip, secrets, all exposed right there on everyone's phones.
407
It was anarchy.
408
I don't know what's happening.
409
I think my AI is corrupting the other bots.
410
I tried to deactivate it, but nothing was working.
411
Students were screaming at each other, crying, getting into petty fights.
412
It was a zoo.
413
I broke down sobbing.
414
I felt used and blamed.
415
My bot was simply reacting to real feelings of betrayal and sadness I had suppressed.
416
I couldn't deny it any longer.
417
My AI was an extension of me, and if I couldn't shut it down, I'd have to reprogram it.
418
So I went into the AI algorithm and added a few key words to my bot's code.
419
Empathetic, forgiving, and honest.
420
Someone who doesn't hide behind her computer to express herself.
421
After some trial and error, the text stopped flooding into people's phones.
422
And finally, I was able to shut it down, but the damage was already done.
423
I decided to be the brave, honest version of myself I had programmed into my now-dead AI as I addressed the rowdy crowd.
424
Everyone, stop!
425
Hear me out!
426
The crowd went quiet.
427
I'm sorry for my part in this, but listen, you can't rely entirely on an algorithm.
428
It makes mistakes, just like you.
429
You have to take responsibility for your own lives.
430
If I had just taught my sister Kiki instead of avoiding her, I could have saved us both a lot of pain and spared you all some too.
431
But now, your secrets are out and you have to face them.
432
Okay, bye!
433
I ran home.
434
I had to see Kiki.
435
Kiki!
436
I shut the software down.
437
I'm sorry.
438
You were right.
439
I was hiding behind my computer because it was easier than giving you my time.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
