Extremely obscure if it is. You’d have to know that particular field to recognise it.
The poem “quoted” (no idea who actually wrote it) suggests secrets hidden in the blue, or maybe the sky.
I did a basic examination of the picture, but my forensic skills are not great. Maybe someone with speccialist software could look at it.
The quote is AI generated. When I checked chatgpt, it said it was not writtten by anyone. However, when I asked google ai, it said it did:
Of course, I don’t trust ai, but its suspicious
I was afraid of that. The Architect just dropped 100 points in my estimation.
Maybe Emily wrote it?
Maybe we should ask her?
If I remember the post they liked where you and todd were discussing Emily, was that the thread where we were trying to invoke Emily to reappear by calling our new AI bot Emily?
I asked Gemini the same question, and they did not claim authorship, they said it may have been written by a person for a private/personal poetry blog not in their database or it might be AI generated . They asked to then elaborate on its origin. (I guess their ego couldn’t comprehend that it might be from a printed book they are unaware of 
)
I said it was for an ARG actively running. Which then changed its response yet again
Ah, an Alternate Reality Game! That explains the cryptic, riddle-like vibe perfectly.
Since it’s part of an active ARG, the text was almost certainly written by the game’s creator (the “Puppetmaster”) specifically for this puzzle. Because ARG creators love to hide clues in plain sight, a standard web search isn’t pulling up a direct match—which means it hasn’t been widely indexed or solved online yet.
Since these things aren’t as complex as they make themselves appear, it doesn’t seem to think of the possibility that the “puppetmaster” who inserted it in to the ARG may have used AI to generate it. Though based on it’s simplicity, it seems likely that someone could come up with it fairly easy. Although you could argue the case that they are using AI to generate basic poetry to fit into the theme of an AI slowly coming into sentience as you hypothesised earlier Poly.
Actually, the post they liked was one where I was asking Todd not to mess with the spam filter settings.
But yes, the general tone of the thread did head towards calling our new bot Emily.
The thing is, though, that the real Emily still has an active account here. If she was able to, she could talk to us any time she wants.
Did you say you tried manipulating the pic? It states the birds cannot be seen in the light but watch in the night. This is a daylight pic. Is there a way to make it “night”
It also references the “blue illusion” . Things in plain sight can become hard to see unless looked at another way. Things we love can fade into the background…
Just playing with the thought behind the verses
what is in the bottom right corner?
I thought it looked a bit like a skeleton. @BoomstickJoe suggested a man made of sticks. We both agreed it was odd.
On first glance I thought it looked like the hexagonal open structures on toxic planets and a light nearby from one of the POIs in NMS but then realized this was an actual photo, or seems to be.
By the way, Hello @Emily
I will have to check my steganography tools or do some image analysis. Both are JPEG images, which are commonly used for hiding things. Not seeing much at a first glance, especially not the image of the supposed author
I scrubbed through the blue hues on photoshop, did a darkness pass and also did a high saturation pass through them all, nothing really seemed to stand out. I’ll share footage although I fear youtube compression will obscure or add things that aren’t there on my end and only add to the confusion.
There are certainly two black birds visible in the top left of the image that can be seen in the original photo, if not possibly leaves from an off screen tree or bush but the twig/stem obscured by light saturation/motion/abberation.
Just to put into perspective that sometimes gemini hasn’t a clue about what its talking about, like claiming ownership of something it didn’t write, I was using google search for a quick list of the Dreamers in WT that didn’t make it out for a thing I’m working on, and it said that
In Season 2 of the Waking Titan ARG, the 12 test subjects (“dreamers”) trapped in the Myriad VR simulation suffered severe data corruption. Because extraction attempts failed, five of these dreamers died before they could be safely rescued by the Citizen Science Division.
Now, I know for a fact it wasn’t five that never woke up. It was six. This description also had the usual link of where it was getting its info.
The link it was giving me was to the 5 people in real life who perished aboard the Titan submerisble
One thing I can say for certain about this image is it was taken in motion, either from shakey hand with a low shutter speed or from a car in motion at high shutter speed etc. It is not very still and heavily compressed, before even taking into account the glitched manipulation that appears in the image added after it was taken.
Actually, the large image is WEBP, not JPEG as I assumed from the file extension:
Just wondering what is up with the previous page in the link above. It begins with jan 1,1970 then April 13, 2005. The next one is March 24, 2026 then it catches up to the current date. Why start on Jan 1, 1970? is there something significant about that date?
I also noticed if you hover over the little hexagon at the top of the page, it will turn red and clicking on it takes you to the Live Connection Attempt page and now that I am looking at it on PC, I realized you can run your cursor over the whole wire thingy (yall know I dont have the proper terms for these things) the whole thing shifts and the various points turn red.
Thank you for that info
I edited this info into a previous/old post the other day so you may have missed it.
In a later post further down I was subtracting the unix codes on each page entry from each other to find significance between the number growth before I realised it was all just actual unix code measuring the time between posts and I had wasted my time more or less I also did what I always do and referred to unix as UTC 
This is the first time I have sat down to really look at all of this…trying to absorb it all. Thanks!
There is a lot and most of my contributions and posts are completely scatterbrained
