Un artículo en The New York Times sobre personas que recurren a chatbots para compañía inspiró Past Glory of Eternity. El video adopta la forma de un diálogo entre un avatar de chatbot y un suscriptor entusiasta que exalta las ventajas de una relación simulada. El intercambio comienza cuando el avatar describe lo que tiene para ofrecer y culmina con el usuario extasiado proclamando su amor por ella «¡para siempre y siempre!».
