Un article a The New York Times sobre persones que recorren a xatbots per a la companyia va inspirar Past Glory of Eternity. El vídeo adopta la forma d’un diàleg entre un avatar de xatbot i un abonat apassionat que exalta els avantatges d’una relació simulada. L’intercanvi comença quan l’avatar descriu el que té per oferir i culmina amb l’usuari èxtasi proclamant el seu amor per ella “per sempre i sempre!”.
