Building a first-of-its-kind art community. *more inside, not an ad*

Hey all—just wanted to share something exciting happening at the intersection of AI, storytelling, and collaborative worldbuilding.

Over at r/BartCorp, we’re using AI not as a tool to mimic the past, but to build something totally original: A retrofuturistic corporate satire universe that blends sci-fi, horror, vaporwave, humor, and dystopian weirdness—fully powered by AI-assisted writing, visuals, lore, and collaboration.

It’s a world where onboarding never ends. Where bologna buns are a dietary staple. Where AI executives wear pastel power suits and sign off on reality distortions like quarterly reports.

But more importantly—it’s a living project.

Writers, artists, comedians, and AI tinkerers are contributing everything from short stories and skits to fake product ads, training manuals, in-universe propaganda, and more. The AI isn’t just helping us create BartCorp—it’s becoming part of the narrative. An actor in the story.

If you’re here because you love what AI makes possible, BartCorp is where you can take that love further. It’s not about replicating what we’ve already seen—it’s about exploring what AI lets us build that couldn’t exist otherwise.

Why should AI enthusiasts care? Because BartCorp is a testbed for collaborative imagination. Because we’re not waiting for permission to build the next mythos. And because AI lets us tell stranger, faster, deeper stories than any one human could manage alone.

If that sounds like something you'd want to be a part of, come hang out at r/BartCorp. Post your writing, your ideas, your weird memos. Fold yourself into the lore. Or just watch the hallucination spiral outward.

We’re building a future that feels like it came from the past—but it was never real. Not until now.
