I am unsure how to even categorize it. That's the brilliance of it.
This English teacher was entertained, and for someone who always catches AI, I'm not even sure if it was used or mimicked intentionally the way I do sometimes.
I love substacks fiction writers. It reminds me how fiction was shared back in the days of authors like Dickens who would publish bits and peices of their story in the post.
Amazing! I think I was even more affected by this than the Companion series (which was incredible). Just in a very different way. I'm going to have to read this a few more times to fully digest all the meanings and underlying implications of a janitor being eaten by his company's machine. There are a lot of levels here. I'm not sure how you were able to accomplish this with the found document format. Creating a convincing narrative like that is difficult—this feels on a different level. Bravo, Machine Poet! You really know to put on a show.
Wow, the message of blue collar workers in modern corporations fits into the formatting perfectly and each word feels important. Happy to like and subscribe!
I love how you use formatting to tell your story. The contrast it gives. It is a skill of its own.
But the story itself. A janitor being eaten. The metaphor here is brilliant. I try to create really unique metaphors for my story, ones that tell the reader how I see the world. And here, a machine eating a blue collar janitor. It’s the perfect metaphor. Well done.
This is meta meta meta.

Fun stuff.
Brilliant metaphor. Beautiful layout, funny, effective.
I took a stab at a similar premise, starring a rich lady, some pack rats and her day laborer (morphing ensued). Never worked out the bugs.
You nailed it, cutie!
Curious piece...
I love how this read like a root cause analysis. Loved the humorous tone and the imagination. Thank you,

Much appreciated, Matthew.
Welcome. I hope you’ll visit me again.
I really enjoyed your cuento! Bien original! Pero ay de Jorge. Pobrecito.
Really fun read. I laughed out loud (for real) more than once.
I’m so curious about the microwave! What sort of sorcery is that?!

Exquisite.
I love this story. Well done.
This is amazing!
Dude. Mind blowing. I’ve never read anything like this. Saving it to further digest.
