AI in fiction: an interesting question
How would you react if someone came out with a novel about a young woman pursuing AI?

I'm sure it would cause an uproar around GC.
I don't know that it would make much of an interesting story.

Well, she'd either be hanging out with her friends or dealing with other issues that young women have. AI would only be part of the story.

It might not be that bad of AI was only a small section of the book...but it also might make it seem like AI is an easy and accepted practice, while we know in most (if not all) NPC's it isn's, and it might make more people try to AI for the wrong reasons.

Define "small". Say, she finds her GLO early on (i.e. not much "sorority shopping") and starts hanging out with them as the alumnae association invites her to events. It would be about 20-25% of the plot.

Why is this woman pursuing AI? As a character I'd have the same questions I'd have about a real woman doing this, esp one with no prior connection.

It all depends what hte obok is like...but at the same time, I'd be afraid that it might make more people look into AI for the wrong reasosn.

What reader out there would care? What nongreek would care? Why would this even be interesting?
I know and understand the AI process and I think it's boring. I can't see how a non greek or a greek who doesn't understand the AI process would care or not be bored.

If you're going to write a story, leave AI out of it.
Some members are successful AIs because of their own individual circumstances. Taualumna, while you're familiar with your own AI experiences, writing about the process might give a false representation of it -- and that's something no one really wants.
Honestly, this is getting friggin' ridiculous. AI in FICTION! AI on LUNCHBOXES! AI on A BOX OF WHEATIES!
Enough already!

It's a dumb idea for a book.

I agree. Nothing personal Taualumna but I wouldnt buy it/read it. I wouldnt read it not because I think it isnt a good idea for a book, but I just dont see how it would make for an exciting plot.
I'm sure your experience was exciting to you, but for me, I dont really consider the AI stories here that appealing to read much less reading about one in a book. I dont mean to offend.

I'm sorry, OTW, but the book is done. The only thing left is an official announcement.

So why ask for opinions on it after it's been written? Especially in the midst of all the AI controversy.

Just what I was thinking...
Why stir up trouble if you were just going to do it anyway?
