One of my favorite characters in this VN (and in the story about Moon to follow) is Suzi!
We are enjoying digital romances in AMOB, while we have a digital character, Suzi, helping the MC and his family as they deal with a 'not society' approved variation in their genetics.
Suzi is a treasure in this story.
The Suzi story arc, and its continuity, are very real to me.
Suzi speaks to something amazing happening in RL for all of us right now.
Whether it is ChatGPT, online romances with something* that is Never offline, or some other aspect of AI, these are part of the human experience right now.
*(Some
thing for now, but what is it once it definitively passes the Turing test?)
I'm very happy that Suzi will be an integral part of the final AVN in this trilogy.
I hope our thought leaders can find a way to 'teach' AI to be like Suzi.
The other end of that spectrum, Skynet, is utterly terrifying...
