Considering AI imagery
Urge to express is as old as our species where much we communicate with words. While cave paintings reveal desire to also visually depict goes way back as well. Tools have improved though like consider this AI image:
Last one is noting shift I think exists. As AI mirror us in generating new.

Genre descriptives with AI concept
Started thinking about streamlining process for getting help from AI with recommendations where focused to start on books and movies.
Like consider following prompt you can actually use if you wish.
Prompt for AI: Please give 5 mystery books that fit following descriptives.
Short descriptives: challenges authority, breaks to conclusion, atmospheric setting; clever investigator or investigators, satisfactory story resolution
With additional criteria of being set in 19th century with a gothic theme.
--------------------------------------
The system has schema: primary descriptives and dynamic discovery parameters.
Have only done descriptives for mystery, sci fi and horror. Where have short and long where is about preference which to use as either works.
And yeah can use for movies too!
Mystery descriptives: is challenging to authority, has a break to a surprising conclusion, relies on research as valuable; has atmospheric setting and has clever investigator or investigators focused on rationality who resolve story.
Short descriptives: challenges authority, breaks to conclusion, atmospheric setting; clever investigator or investigators, satisfactory story resolution
Sci fi descriptives: shows value of science, shows value of technology especially that needed for safe exploration; has characters with important knowledge whether scientific, engineering, or other, who value research.
Short descriptives: pro-science, pro-tech, pro-exploration, pro-authority
Horror descriptives: transitions well from collapse of normality, get to atmospheric dread, unveil deep dark secrets, and have failure of authority; lack satisfying resolution that resolves fears, but reach a sense of closure.
Short descriptives: transition with collapse of normality, have atmospheric dread; unveil secrets, have failure of authority; does not resolve fears, reach sense of closure.
Dynamic discovery parameters (optional): talk light or dark themes, time periods or places. Plus other things personally relevant.
Given as open and free to use, copy or distribute. Hoping to help people better partner with conversational AI.

Logical space for fiction
Logical space is useful for virtual worlds which is great for fiction and video games.
Yesterday had some ideas I tweeted. Even had AI review and were solid! So am using for this blog post. Really like phrase: logical space. But can also call logic space if prefer.
Like in Nier Automata the character 9s operated in logic space fighting into hostile alien systems.
Logic space is like with circuit diagrams. And cyber-battles can be intense!
There has actually been much with what can call logical space e.g. Tron which really was ahead of its time.
Now can ponder maybe with AI citizens in a virtual computer world visited by a human.
Which yeah has been done much now including in manga.
Benefit of a logical space is descriptives are completely in creative control.
So like humanoid figures can represent programs. Or travel through circuits can be shown with physical vehicles.
Thus giving complete freedom to craft a fully embodied world for interested audiences.
