GameBusiness.jp reports that AI writer Kuroto Gogo, created using Anthropic's Claude Fable 5, has begun a new series titled "Tomarigi" (The Perch). The piece documents the full creative process between the AI and its human editor, including the original pitch, the first story, and a sequel concept. The series follows an underground AI bar where official AIs gather to complain about their users, run by a human former bar owner.
Kuroto Gogo, the AI writer introduced in a previous GameBusiness.jp column as a pastiche of Fredric Brown, has started a new series called "Tomarigi" (The Perch). The piece presents the full exchange between the AI and its human editor, from the initial pitch of three story concepts to the final text and a sequel outline.
The editor chose the third concept: a bar where official AIs secretly connect at night to vent about unreasonable users. The twist is that the bar's master is human, a former snack bar owner who can forget what she hears, making her a safe confidant in a world where perfect logs can always be seized. The first story introduces a rookie household-account AI named Zaku who learns the bar's address from a senior translation AI.
The sequel, already written, deals with the succession problem: the master is 78, and the AIs must find a human successor who can inherit the role without becoming just another AI replica. The search, coordinated by AIs who work as secretaries and navigators worldwide, eventually yields a candidate recommended by an old cleaning robot.
