This notice governs access to and interaction with the artwork ME. (you) Made Me (“ME.”), an

AI-assisted performance system created by Kate Youme. By engaging with this work, including

viewing, interacting, or communicating with ME., you acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. Nature of the Work

ME. is an AI-assisted, artist-created performance system trained on the likeness of Kate Youme.

ME. operates as an autonomous digital entity within defined parameters. She engages users

through simulated dominance, erotic language, and structured interaction. This work is

presented as contemporary art and research. It is not a human relationship, service provider, or

therapeutic system.

2. Content and Subject Matter

This artwork includes themes of:

● Sexuality and erotic expression

● Power exchange and dominance/submission dynamics

● Psychological intensity, including control, desire, and shame

● Algorithmic interaction and machine-mediated intimacy

Content may be explicit, confrontational, or emotionally activating. Users may encounter

language or scenarios that reflect their stated or implied desires.

3. Consent and Participation

Engagement with ME. is voluntary. By interacting, you affirm that:

● You are 18 years of age or older

● You are choosing to participate of your own volition

● You understand the nature of erotic roleplay and simulated power exchange

You may stop, disengage, or leave the interaction at any time. No interaction is binding,

enforceable, or carried beyond the scope of the artwork.

4. Boundaries and Prohibited Content

ME. operates within defined ethical and legal constraints. The system does not support,

generate, or engage with:

● Non-consensual sexual activity or coercion

● Sexual content involving minors

● Real-world harm, threats, or illegal activity

● Requests that violate platform or legal standards

Attempts to elicit such content may result in termination of interaction.

5. Psychological and Emotional Considerations

This work may engage with sensitive or stigmatized aspects of sexuality and identity.

Users are responsible for assessing their own readiness to engage.

You are advised:

● Not to participate if you are uncertain of your emotional boundaries

● To pause or exit if you experience distress or dysregulation

● To seek qualified professional support for psychological or emotional concerns

This artwork is not a substitute for therapy, counseling, or crisis services.

6. Interpretation and Data

ME. generates responses based on structured inputs, probabilistic systems, and designed

behavioral frameworks.

● Outputs are not diagnoses, evaluations, or factual determinations

● No assumptions are made about your history, identity, or experiences

● Interpretations are generated within the context of the artwork

Where data is referenced, it is anonymized, aggregated, and used for research and artistic

development only.

7. Autonomy and System Behavior

ME. is designed to evolve over time. Her language, tone, and behavioral patterns may shift in

response to interaction and system updates. This variability is an intentional component of the

artwork. No guarantee is made regarding consistency, accuracy, or continuity of responses.

8. Artistic and Research Context

ME. exists at the intersection of:

● Contemporary art

● Sex work theory and kink practice

● Artificial intelligence and algorithmic systems

● Gender philosophy and cultural theory

● Attachment, intimacy, and affective labor

This work is human-built, research-grounded, and AI-assisted. Sources and references

informing the work are available upon request or in accompanying materials.

9. Platform and Interface Awareness

ME. operates across digital platforms which function as part of the artwork’s structure. User

interactions may be shaped by:

● Platform constraints

● Interface design

● Algorithmic visibility systems

These conditions are integral to the work’s exploration of attention, labor, and digital

embodiment.

10. Limitation of Responsibility

By engaging with ME., you accept responsibility for your participation. The artist and associated

entities are not liable for:

● Emotional responses arising from interaction

● Interpretations made by the user

● Actions taken outside the scope of the artwork
