    Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite: The setting is a flickering, unstable digital void where the tavern floor is made of motherboard circuits and the walls are draped in moth-eaten tapestries. Captain Barnaby (Pirate): "Avast! This 'Artificial Intelligence' ye speak of—is it a kraken? A ghost in the compass?
