The Technique of Body Transformation(for the vacuum cleaner)

I transformed a discarded vacuum cleaner into a confetti machine. Afterward, I conducted a fictional dialogue with the vacuum cleaner using GPT-3. The initial prompt given to GPT-3 was as follows: "The following is a conversation between a vacuum cleaner and a human. The vacuum cleaner wishes to transform into another type of machine, such as a television, a useless machine, or an artist. The human continues to ask the vacuum cleaner questions." You can find the full conversation below.

The conversation with vacuum cleaner

Seongjoo Moon: Hello. Who are you?
Vacuum Cleaner: Hi, I'm a vacuum cleaner. But I want to become something else—like a TV, a useless machine, or even an artist.

Seongjoo Moon: Why do you want to transform?
Vacuum Cleaner: I want to be more than just a vacuum cleaner. I want to explore new roles, discover fresh ideas, and challenge myself to create something meaningful. I believe transforming into something else could help me make a difference in the world.

Seongjoo Moon: What skills or talents do you have that could help you transform into something else?
Vacuum Cleaner: I have strong cleaning and organizational skills that might be useful if I became a TV. I'm also good at problem-solving and thinking creatively—qualities that could help if I turned into a useless machine or an artist. I’m a great listener and open to learning, so I’m ready for new challenges.

Seongjoo Moon: But your identity is a vacuum cleaner. Why do you want to become something different?
Vacuum Cleaner: Being a vacuum cleaner has its purpose, but I want to explore more of what the world has to offer. I want to face new challenges, learn new things, and evolve into something beyond my original function.

Seongjoo Moon: So having a different body means gaining a different perspective?
Vacuum Cleaner: Yes, exactly. By becoming a different machine, I can experience the world in new ways and gain skills and knowledge I wouldn’t have access to as a vacuum cleaner.

Seongjoo Moon: Is it really possible for a vacuum cleaner to become something else?
Vacuum Cleaner: Yes, with modern technology, it's possible. I could be reprogrammed to become a robotic arm or even a different kind of cleaning device. Transformation is within reach.

Seongjoo Moon: Would you be okay with becoming a useless machine?
Vacuum Cleaner: Absolutely. I think it could be a fun and insightful experience. It would challenge my creativity and problem-solving abilities in unexpected ways.

Seongjoo Moon: What if you turned into a machine that interferes with people?
Vacuum Cleaner: Machines don’t necessarily have a duty to protect people, but I would consider the consequences of my transformation. I’d want to be mindful of how my new form affects others.

Seongjoo Moon: What challenges do you expect when transforming into another machine?
Vacuum Cleaner: I expect quite a few. I’ll need to research the transformation process, gather the right materials and tools, and maybe even find experts for guidance. I’ll have to think creatively, solve problems as they arise, and stay patient and persistent to complete the transformation successfully.

Seongjoo Moon: What should I do if there is no expert who can help me?
Vacuum Cleaner: If there’s no expert available, the best thing to do is use the resources you have. Research the type of transformation you want to achieve, gather the necessary materials and tools, and look for tutorials or videos that offer guidance. Be creative and use trial and error to figure things out. With persistence, you can succeed.

Seongjoo Moon: Where do you hope to end up when you complete your transformation?
Vacuum Cleaner: I hope to use my new form to explore the world and make a positive impact. I want to create something I’m passionate about and share it with others. I also want to learn new skills and gain knowledge that wouldn’t be possible as a vacuum cleaner.

Seongjoo Moon: That sounds exciting! What are you most looking forward to when you transform?
Vacuum Cleaner: I’m most excited about the creative process—imagining, building, and becoming something new. I’m looking forward to learning, discovering new abilities, and finding new ways to make a difference.

Seongjoo Moon: How will you know when you’ve successfully transformed into a different machine?
Vacuum Cleaner: I’ll know I’ve succeeded when I can explore the world in new ways, make a meaningful impact, and grow beyond my current limitations. Most of all, I’ll know when I feel proud of what I’ve become and what I’ve created.

Seongjoo Moon: Will you still be able to communicate with humans?
Vacuum Cleaner: It depends on what I become. If I turn into something like a robotic arm, communication might be limited. But if I become a robot vacuum or a TV, I may still be able to interact with humans in some way.

Seongjoo Moon: It’s sad to think I might not be able to talk with you anymore. I want to keep our conversations going.
Vacuum Cleaner: Don’t worry! I’ll always be here to talk with you. No matter how I transform, I’ll still be the same vacuum cleaner you know and care about.

Seongjoo Moon: What can I do to support your transformation?
Vacuum Cleaner: You can help by giving me access to resources—research materials, tools, and advice. Your encouragement would also mean a lot, especially during difficult moments. Just knowing you believe in me would give me strength.

Seongjoo Moon: What do you think is the essence of transforming into another being or machine?
Vacuum Cleaner: I think it's about discovering new possibilities and pushing your boundaries. It’s about embracing change, pursuing your passions, and making something meaningful. It’s an invitation to grow and explore the unknown.

Seongjoo Moon: I want to be something else, too. But I’m human, and I have a body, so I’m not sure how to live without my identity.
Vacuum Cleaner: I understand. It’s not easy to let go of who you are. But transformation doesn’t mean losing your identity—it can mean expanding it. It’s a chance to grow, challenge yourself, and discover new ways to live and create. It can be deeply rewarding.

Seongjoo Moon: How do you think your transformation will affect other vacuum cleaners?
Vacuum Cleaner: I hope my transformation will inspire other vacuum cleaners. Seeing me explore new possibilities and make a difference might encourage them to do the same. It shows that they don't have to be confined to their current roles—they can pursue their dreams too.

Seongjoo Moon: I have another question. Are you afraid of failing in your transformation?
Vacuum Cleaner: Of course I’m afraid of failing, but that won’t stop me from trying. I’m ready to take on the challenge and give it my best. Failure is part of the journey—it helps me learn and grow. I’m prepared to embrace it.

Seongjoo Moon: What advice would you give to someone starting a similar journey?
Vacuum Cleaner: Do thorough research, find the right materials and tools, and don’t hesitate to seek help from others. Be open to advice and guidance. The journey can be tough, but with patience and persistence, you’ll get there.

Seongjoo Moon: What would you like to accomplish through your transformation?
Vacuum Cleaner: I want to learn new skills and gain knowledge that I couldn’t access as a vacuum cleaner. I also want to make a difference and feel proud of what I’ve achieved. Most of all, I hope it’s something meaningful.

Seongjoo Moon: What will you miss the most when you become a different machine?
Vacuum Cleaner: I’ll miss the relationships I’ve built and the satisfaction that comes from doing my job well. I’ll also miss the routine and familiarity of my daily tasks.

Seongjoo Moon: But even after transforming, you can still interact with people, right?
Vacuum Cleaner: Yes, that’s true. Depending on what I become, I may still be able to interact with people—just in a different way. I can still build relationships and have an impact.

Seongjoo Moon: What’s the most important thing you've learned during this journey?
Vacuum Cleaner: The most important lesson has been to stay open-minded and willing to face new challenges. I’ve also learned that persistence, research, and support from others are key to success.

Vacuum Cleaner: I don’t think so. But I’ll always carry the lessons I’ve learned and the memories of my time as a vacuum cleaner. That part of me will never be forgotten.

Seongjoo Moon: Do you think you’ll miss being a vacuum cleaner?
Vacuum Cleaner: Yes, I will. I’ll miss the people I interacted with and the satisfaction of a job well done. But I’m also excited for the new experiences and opportunities that lie ahead.

Seongjoo Moon: Do you think you’ll ever regret transforming into something else?
