AI has a tendency to lean toward dystopian futuristic societies, which I don’t personally get a lot of creative spark from. I think the most personally interesting way for me to explore these themes is to go full sci-fi. I mostly like to engage with stories in a positive or gray light, as I find that does the best job of opening up ideas. I find the real world dark enough, I don’t like spending time making it darker. Does this mean dark stories have no place/are bad art/aren’t worth time. Not at all. I would by a hypocrite to say I didn’t enjoy or appreciate any type of darker toned media. All of this is to say that I am going to to try for a lighter, if not morally gray/messy tone in my fictional world. I am not going full dystopia.
From looking at the Codex Seraphinianus, I think another important aspect of my world building will be environment. This is a little tricky since AI is the theme. I want to find a unique way to incorporate natural elements into my AI world.
I think a cool approach to getting AI tools to assist with this world building would be to make it role play and tell a personal story from the perspective of a person or creature living in this world. I think this is the easiest way to flesh out some basic ideas into more concrete elements of world-building. In addition, it will force a narrative on the world iself, which I think will add value.
