Abstract
Amidst the parched and hazy drought and wildfire season in Alberta’s Rocky Mountains and prairies, an AI start-up approaches a famous Instagram influencer to embed her likeness into its avatars. Set beyond the AI’s murky digital landscape, “The Underscore” explores the journey of four characters with interwoven narratives during two critical junctures: the proliferation of AI friendship and the dangers of a looming forest fire in Jasper. Sophie_Grace is a lauded millennial known for her social media empire who chooses to ignore the warning signs of her AI. Sophie’s best friend Iris risks her personal and professional connections despite her reservations and defends Sophie’s decisions until one event threatens to crater their relationship permanently. Rowan, Iris’s partner, is a Woodlands firefighter and quietly observes the changing social and climate environments before him, until a spark ignites a blaze that threatens to ravage Jasper. Annie is a young high-schooler enamoured with the Sophie_Grace. When Sophie_Grace uploads her personality into AI, Annie jumps at the chance to have realistic conversations with the famous influencer. A speculative work of realist fiction, “The Underscore” examines the pernicious elements of artificial intelligence through the very human and messy nature of genuine connection, heartache, and humour.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
