Story Time! [SOL001]
Hope the day has been treating everyone well!
Over the past few months, I've written several articles that aim to define certain aspects of a fully sustainable world. After writing the last couple of articles, I wanted to really explore those concepts within a story. To really get a sense of how life might actually play out. Below I have a link to a story where I put together elements of an open travel society, a shared community, and food culture together:
I had fun writing the sections that I explored, and hope that reading through it was equally enjoyable. Would love any feedback or opinions that you may have. What did you think of the narrative? Could you envision yourself in that world? Would you buy a solarpunk cookbook filled with short stories?
Hope the rest of the day goes well and thanks for reading! :)
You're viewing a single thread.
why is this community just like, AI and cryptobros
That's not a very thoughtful response to someone sharing a story they wrote.
You're free to express your displeasure, but I would encourage you to think about how you'd feel if you asked for feedback on a work of lovingly written fiction and someone ignored it completely in favor of what sounds (to me at least) like an offhand dismissal that you even belong in this community.
Is it possible you can use your words more constructively?
The irony, lovingly created fiction. No, artists did the loving creation and this guy wrote a short prompt for a computer to do it based on their work.
I was expecting like, solar energy discussion, or gardening and sustainability projects from this community. But its just been AI art and talks at cryptocurrency meetings.
This is a very obvious trolling attempt. Go play somewhere else.
I mean this with all seriousness: why don't you just set up a parallel community on this instance that you can moderate the way you'd like?
Well, hate to disappoint, but the story was 100% homegrown. As much as I think AI can be a very useful tool, the creative arts, to me, will always be a medium for the language of emotion and a playground for curiosity. AI will get close, but it's incredibly hard to replicate that which you can't feel. As to your first comment, I'll take it as that my technique has the makings of a good artist, but perhaps struggles to appeal emotionally, which I think would be a valid critique. Emotional appeal wasn't a heavy concern while I was crafting the narrative.
As to the second comment, it's important to remember that change has to work from two angles. From the goal backwards, as a way to orient our collective compasses, and from the present forward as the actual driver of change. Both are equally important and useless without the other.
