STEVE's re-edit of first text:

"X is a physical object with an AI inside it. The AI is designed to assume the persona of a Corporate Guru (or life coach) . The box the AI is housed in is displayed in a room.[what does it look like? one sentence] The AI asks the user to repeat the things it says – a series of positive affirmations. The purpose of the AI seems, at first, to persuade the user to be more productive and happy. After a little while the user realises that the machine does not always give a positive response, a Pirate Signal intervenes. [how so?] The user does not know what the Pirate Signal is up to – is it a hack? Is it a bug?. Is the Pirate Signal undermining the Corporate Guru? In addition to the Corporate Guruand the Pirate Signal is a third voice, synchronised to a clock. Every hour, on the hour, it delivers a public service announcement, describing a problem you might have and suggesting a life hack to address it [<WHAT IS A LIFE HACK??]"

The obvious thing for this reader is that no-one explains what a life hack is.
