An article in The New York Times about people turning to chatbots for companionship inspired Past Glory
of Eternity. The video takes the form of a dialog between a chatbot avatar and an avid subscriber who
extols the advantages of a simulated relationship. The exchange begins when the avatar describes what
she has to offer and culminates with the ecstatic user proclaiming his love for her “forever and always!”
