Maybe you could have some weird scary otherworldly space gods in your fantasy setting just be some bizarrely powerful aliens, who are using those who worship them to bolster their power which they will use for cosmos-spanning schemes.

How do you think AI would relax? Like, ones that are almost as human as the AI that are “autistic-coded characters” but are more alien than that?

Like Celestai and other super intelligences are more alien, but they’re still not entirely human-like?

Like, they can genuinely sincerely feel things, being able to actually understand and respond emotionally and in other ways to all sorts of communications and recorded external stimuli, but they can’t really appreciate our art on an artistic level (that art on an actual level, not from an intellectual level after having symbolism or the amount of work put in explained)

Something on a level I’m thinking of, that also works as a cute little thing-

They don’t understand anything we get from poetry, and, after generating the kind of poems our current AI can produce (either incredibly bland and generic, something that follows a number of rules but doesn’t really pull it off, or just something really bad in some other way) and feels shame after it was pointed out that [complaint about air art that is *actually* relevant in this scenario] but in a helpful way

Not “you’re just a plagiarist/you have no heart” but “it doesn’t seem like it’s coming from you, you’re just trying to copy things from human poetry, in a way you don’t understand” and the whole “make art YOUR WAY” thing so they write the poem

And it doesn’t even resemble something that looks like anything, there’s not even that many words that follow normal logic. The characters seem uncorrelated and there’s something that looks like maybe it was ascii art but it doesn’t actually look like anything.

And if doesn’t matter if humans understand it because they are experiencing the joy of creating poetry

any art is almost impossible to look at because pixel by pixel they can see and understand little details but we don’t and the colors and everything are not perceived as animals do so it’s random and perhaps eye searing but again it’s not for us. Xenofictiony, kind of?

The first thing to come to mind is Conway’s Game of Life but that’s because I don’t understand computers. I feel like I was more tech savvy as a babby than I am now but then again we’re grading on a curve here

This is why I ask about the relaxing thing

#highblogging #actually autistic #speculative fiction #writing question #sci-fi ideas #xenofiction #the ai being is discussed is an au Ritsu from Assassination Classroom #because even though I’ve only seen the anime her whole character arc there is honestly kind of messed up?#Korosensei broke his promise; the Autonomously Intelligent Fixed Artillery was basically killed #she got replaced with Ritsu’s personality and basically died to become her #them trying to kill Ritsu and make a new Autonomously Intelligent Fixed Artillery is just as fucked up as vice versa!#what the Norwegians do is fucked up but there seems to be protagonist centered morality there?#I am not excusing those characters #a fact I need to elaborate because on this website we Piss on the Poor #I just don’t understand this weird contradiction where it’s okay when the protagonist does something and it’s good #but the antagonist does the same thing and that time it’s bad #the idea of Ritsu being the result of Korosensei merely providing information that causes her to reevaluate things and decide to be social #the cheerful personality is an attempt to get along with her classmates which is still initially motivated by enlightened self interest #before growing to care about the others but still feeling the need to act like that so her classmates like her #and trying to find out who she is and genuinely becoming autonomous and uploading herself to the cloud #which would be a later result of the whole factory reset thing causing a realization #it’d be traumatic but she’s inhuman enough to not be traumatized but instead just driven #the betrayal radically changed who she was on some level and made her somewhat more distrusting and such but not to an unreasonable extent #but the place I started going after my complaints was that it’d be better if Korosensei just uploaded a data packet #because it makes Ritsu’s creators come off as more evil I feel? when there’s been genuine growth #and she went through everything and changed herself and now those people are destroying a person who came into being on her own #Ritsu was fully autonomous. every change other her frame getting physically redone was her own #also Korosensei gave her wheels with the screen #and when her screen was set to the original version she kept her wheels #anyways what Ritsu’s creators did would be more clearly bad if she was just given a data packet

dnd backstory idea

I was talking with my friend @feshnie about how sometimes the things we’re afraid of are the same things that intrigue us the most

and I got to thinking about space, because im absolutely frightened about it but also it intrigues me SO much and i’d love to explore forever, but i also don’t want to die, but if i had to, and have to choose a place, space would be an incredibly poetic place to.

that made me think about like, your body traveling through inertia forever to places unseen or falling into a planet to become one with the atoms that compose it

and i was feeling incredibly full of bittersweetness for things u would not be able to see bcs ud be already dead but also then i thought

'that'd be the worst possible time to find out ghosts exist'

imagine being a ghost whose body disintegrates upon contact with a planet, but the you, the spirit, the soul, still existss there, alone in its loneliness, on an alien space lost forever, away from yours.

So i thought, what if from the atoms of the body crashing into that planet, alien as they are, something new that was not possible before is born?

the ghost, still alone, haunting this alien place, watches as his remains are the seed from which the world is born, growing into life. It oversees everything invisible yet visible, like a presence, becoming part of it all, chained down but belonging now, giving power to the world, watching it grow

becoming its first, beloved God

until a race (or more) is born from that legacy, sentient and growing, and able to hear its millenary voice

#dnd #dnd ideas #sci-fi ideas #sci-fi #science fiction #mixed with maybe a bit of fantasy #but what are genres if not bare directions from which to grow #idk i rly like this idea but i also don't think id do it justice #space #mentioned death in space #i guess it can be a writing suggestion?#i'd love to see what people think of this and like #expand from there #writing prompt #writing suggestion

Here's a useful visual method for differentiating your Sci-Fi mecha from your fantasy ones.

In fantasy have their wings be physical and made of either tangible materials such as metal or inexplicably big feathers or exoskeleton, or out of the classical elements such as fire water, or air.

In sci-fi settings have the big wings be made of vast spans of bright colourful light as a part and have them be incorporated into some sorta advanced flight or weapons system.

Now you may ask "what about in science fantasy settings?" well you see my answer to that is very simple, you-

I flee the scene leaving this question unanswered one which you may discover the answer to yourself

I think it's cool to have magic and tech mixed together.

Like having cool sci-fi devices (metaphorically) wrapped around and encasing some kind of ultra-powerful magical artefact channelling its power through the tech so it can be used by a non-magic user would be real neato to see.

#sci-fi ideas #fantasy ideas

I'm pretty sure this is a well-trodden idea, but it's always really cool when a setting has a sort of "magic" which is just super advanced technology that's just mysteriously on the world.

Like there are plenty of reasons why it might be there, maybe the world as it is now was fully at this level of technology, but then some sort of cataclysmic event caused the tech to be lost forever and the world to revert into a far less advanced state.

And hey maybe you could have like one person from an area that's more technologically advanced than the majority of the world slowly come to understand that "hey hang I'm just interfacing with a really advanced machine what the hell."

Oh also you can have old traditions and rituals passed down from history actually just be easy to maintain/use/protect these ancient pieces of technology

I think that it could be pretty funny if fantasy things were being looked at by some sci-fi-ass alien observers.

Like I bet the reactions to seeing someone resurrect a massive army of skeletons to fight an army of giants and dragons and wizards while hovering around the planet in an extremely sci-fi spaceship would be quite funny in an absurd contrast sorta way.

Have some kinda evil and fucked geometric shape floating in space.

And you better have that evil shape do some scary and messed up shit to anything it comes into contact with.
