Recently, I have been taking a nutritional supplement called Optifast. Having had experience creating characters through my MAGIC (Metaverse Art Gallery of Image Chronicles) project, I decided to use my own created Gen AI character builder (MediCrafter – The Lived-Experience Architect) to develop my impression of this supplement. Below is the creation of my lived experience of this supplement….
