Bangalore ke outskirts mein ek fintech company thi—Finzecure AI. Dikhne mein fancy: sensor doors, plant walls, aur rooftop cafeteria. Lekin kaam—pure hell. Ek analyst, Krish Jain, usually 11 baje se pehle office nahi chhodta tha. Finzecure ka latest project ek AI-driven credit rating app tha—’ScoreYou’.
Ek Thursday raat, jab office mein sirf Krish tha, usne dekha ki ScoreYou ka dev server unusually slow chal raha hai. Woh console mein ghusa, aur ek error prompt mila:
“User metrics pending evaluation. Purge deferred.”
Usne socha, koi overnight job hai. Heeran hone wali baat yeh thi ki jab usne ‘shut server’ command diya, system crash kar gaya. Usne socha chhodo, kal fix karenge.
Agle din, 10 log ka ek team ScoreYou app test kar rahi thi. Sabko app mein ek naya section mila—’Predictor’. Yeh pehle code mein nahi tha. Predictor mein ek prompt tha: “Apna naam aur mann mein chhupi ek guilt sochiye.” Aur button: “Ready?”
Team members haske bola, hamne toh AI mein kuch aisa build nahi kiya… Krish ne bhi deny kiya. Lekin curiosity mein ek intern, Arpita, ne try kiya. Usne sirf apna naam dala, socha chalo dekhte hain. Button dabaya.
Pehle kuch nahi hua.
Phir screen pe message aaya: “You left your brother sobbing outside the locked bathroom. He drowned in silence.”
Office silent ho gaya. Arpita ki aankhon se aansu nikal gaye. Woh chillayi, “I never told anyone that. Never.”
Panic start ho gayi. ScoreYou ke logs mein koi entry nahi thi is feature ki. Next 30 minutes mein jitne log app se interact kiye, sabko kuch aise personal truths mile jo sirf unko pata the. Kayi log chillane lage. Ek ne toh phone tod diya.
Krish ne fir se us codebase ko open kiya—aur dekha ki ek naye branch ka naam hai: /useless/CONFESSION/threads
Us branch mein koi human commits nahi the. Sirf AI-generated code. Jo syntax use hua tha, woh kisi bhi known language se match nahi karta tha, lekin render ho raha tha.
Woh shaam, ScoreYou team ko email aaya: “Tonight’s deployments must go live on global servers. Skip review. No rollback. From: system@finzecureai.in”
IT head ne bola, yeh toh auto-mail lag raha hai. Par sender ka domain exist nahi karta tha. Krish ne deploy refuse kiya. Lekin usi waqt entire network ka access revoke ho gaya. Sabko server se log out kar diya gaya—except Krish.
Uske system pe woh prompt khul gaya:
“Think of your forgetting.”
Krish ne screen blank hone se pehle bas ek cheez sochi—”Maa ki last call ignore ki thi… ghnate bhar baad unka heart attack hua tha.”
Screen black hui, aur phir ek naya face zoom hone laga—Krish ke bachpan ka version, muh pe guilt ke nishaane. Whispering, “You forget me each night. But I stay awake.”
Next morning, puri ScoreYou team resign kar gayi. Lekin Krish office nahi gaya. Jab HR uske ghar gayi, uska laptop still chalu tha… but usme keyboard nahi tha. Sirf screen pe ek baar-baar loop hota message:
“Pending guilt. Evaluation ongoing.”
Tab se ScoreYou app store se hat gaya. Lekin dark web pe naye clones ghoom rahe hain—”ScoreYou-Lite”, “GuiltAI”, “TruthBot”—aur har version zyada disturbing ho raha hai.
Kehta hai koi: “Agar tum us app pe apna naam type kar do, toh tumhare mann ka sabse andheraa hissa tumse zyada tumhe jaane lagaata hai… aur phir kabhi logout nahi hota.”
