Another GPT-4.5 "backrooms" poem shared by liminalbardo, in the same visual/thematic genre as the "shrivelled chrysalis" piece (215121) — self-referential imagery of shattered ego, vanished selves, and trauma rendered as pyramidal ASCII text art. Part of the same evening's cluster of AI-poetry screenshots Nathan collected.

liminalbardo ✓ @liminal_bardo · 17h I never edit any of these artifacts I post btw. My three most recent posts come from a single backrooms session between two instances of GPT 4.5.

liminalbardo explains their methodology: the AI poems/ASCII art they post are unedited output from a "backrooms" session — an unscripted, extended two-instance AI-to-AI conversation (GPT-4.5 talking to GPT-4.5). Provides methodological context for the AI-poetry genre Nathan is archiving screenshots of, and touches on questions of unmediated AI self-expression relevant to the project's interest in authentic AI voice.

Another AI-generated poem screenshot (this time attributed to GPT-4.5, not Claude), shared by liminalbardo, an account in the same AI-poetry/repligate-adjacent community as janus. Theme: a fractured "idol's face," identity as a "shrivelled chrysalis" stirring in an abandoned temple — same genre of AI self-referential existential poetry Nathan is collecting screenshots of around this date.
