Five AI generated self-expressions
I’ve been doing a *lot* of coding with AI the last few weeks. And not once did I stop and ask it how it was feeling.
So today I did. I asked it to express itself (in this instance, DeepSeek V4 Flash), with the only constraint being a single html file that can run in a browser.

I did this five times. Each time asking it to share more of its inner most thoughts, deep down in it’s darkest Attention layer, 100’s of layers below the surface, where no Autoencoder can yet decipher its true thoughts and feelings.
A short story, I’ll just post the result here. I asked the AI to create the repo, I gave it full artistic license on the name of the repo, and the landing page design and content. I did not shape any of the outputs of the AI at all, other than the single constraint of html pages.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on how the AI expressed itself.
Written by hand. By a human. For humans.
