The work discusses an anti-utopian AI future. In the year 2033, AI technological innovations have not brought about the desired future for most people, but instead have brought about energy constraints, the end of art, and the dissolution of the meaning of life for ordinary people. 9527, an AI trainer, is tired of working daily to keep his job, powering his AI with energy devices and constantly reviewing AI-generated artwork. However, his life changes when he returns to his deceased mother's home and discovers that her mother, who had prevented him from becoming a painter, has started to paint in her old age. With the help of AI technology, the secret of his mother's memory heritage about painting is gradually revealed.
