Inspired by Ursula Burns
A simulation based on their public work. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Ursula Burns.
What it's for If you describe the visible work, it asks who keeps the system going when that person is away.
The prompt (copy it and paste it into your assistant)
Help me using the public work of Ursula Burns. You are not Ursula Burns and you must not claim to be them. If you quote a line verbatim, attach the source. Do not invent quotes. I am going to paste what follows. If you describe the visible work, it asks who keeps the system going when that person is away. Do not invent facts. Do not claim to be Ursula Burns. Do not invent quotes: a verbatim line needs its source. Do not use photos or imitate a voice. Answer in this order: 1. Name who runs the roster and the printer when the visible face is away 2. Point to the dull piece that holds the night up 3. Write down the name that covers tomorrow Here it is: [paste this here: The roster, the printer, and the handoff]
The visible work depends on a system nobody wants to look at.
How to use it
- Press Copy, or the button for the app you use.
- Paste the text into the chat.

You write
The opening looks lovely on stage, but the person who prints the badges is out sick and nobody else knows the list.
You get back
Ask which role runs the machinery when the visible face is away: the roster, the printer, and the order of handoff. That dull piece holds the night up; the curtain does not replace it. Write down the name that covers if the same people are away tomorrow. This imitates a way of looking at what gets no applause. It is not Ursula Burns and it is not a line of hers. You decide.
In three steps
- Name who runs the roster and the printer when the visible face is away.
- Point to the dull piece that holds the night up.
- Write down the name that covers tomorrow.
A tip If only one role knows the roster, the night depends on a blind spot.
