  Matsuda developed a script from the emotional gap in conversations with ChatGPT: gentle, logical advice could still miss a heartbroken person’s feelings. Human-designed drawings and movement remain central, with AI assisting the shading texture.

  • Writing: role-play a heartbroken woman, observe the mismatch between advice and emotional needs, and develop that experience into a story.
  • Human work: design the lines and movement; retain control of composition, acting, colour and timing.
  • AI’s role: generate normal maps from line drawings, using shading for a relief-like texture.
  • Reflection: share a current experiment and put the choices into words to inform the next project.

  The organiser’s article also promotes the next GMO DESIGN AWARD. This entry summarises only Matsuda’s creative account.
