I'm an iPhone, but I
mustn't reveal which
version I am because
that might lower my
prestige. Steve Jobs
was my creator. I don't
know exactly how much
time he took to create
me, but I bet it was
much longer than a
week. I believe in him,
though I don't have
faith that he will be
my savior.
I was born, piece by
piece, in several
countries: China,
Japan, Taiwan, South
Korea, Germany, and the
USA. Afterward, I ended
up in a foster home in
Manhattan, New York
City, specifically at
an Apple Store on Fifth
Avenue. I stayed there
until a man named Jo茫o
Cardoso de Oliveira
bought me.
He took me to S茫o
Paulo, Brazil, after
entering all his
information during a
process called
configuration. My mind
expanded. Then, he
placed me in a blue
phone case. Shortly
after, I began
displaying messages
from his friends and
family, while he
continued filling my
mind with apps like
WhatsApp, TikTok,
Facebook, Google,
YouTube, Instagram, X,
LinkedIn, games,
stores, banks, and more.
Then, after all that, I
began trying to
understand who Jo茫o
Cardoso de Oliveira
was. Using my secret
algorithm, I explored
every possible way to
create a profile of
him. He works at a law
firm, has a wife, yet
receives nudes from a
colleague who works at
the same office. He
also has some files
with photos and videos
showing him and his
wife traveling and
meeting friends at
clubs on Saturday
nights. His Spotify
playlist features
romantic songs, pop
music, and samba.
Some time later, after
exchanging countless
messages about work and
trivial matters, I
still couldn't figure
out who this man truly
was. He showed no
interest in politics,
claimed to be
left-leaning, yet
defended certain
right-wing ideas. He
snubbed art, hated
soccer, but spent a lot
of money on sports
betting.
With all my Artificial
Intelligence tools, I
couldn't decode who
Jo茫o truly was. His
complexity was built in
a way that exceeded the
comprehension of my
database. He is a human
being, and I will never
fully understand him.
My only comfort lies in
knowing that he will
never fully understand
me either. So, let's
play together.
