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?

Because some people like to create trouble, that's why....and other people just want to hear opinions, even if they know that most of them won't agree.

Wouldn't read it. Silly subplot.

Hell I'm bored just reading about a book like the one you've suggested.

My condolences then. I really think you've made a bad move.
ETA: I hope you've added a disclaimer regarding the AI process. I'd hate for any of your readers to think that this is what really happens when a woman decides to pursue membership this way.

Oh, I forgot this was the short people's rights person. I expect we'll see this book at our local Barnes and Noble around the same time her pet poodle AIs.

I don't think I'd read it. It sounds boring.
I don't think your average American reader would buy it. In order to be interested in the story, you'd have to know what AI is. Most GREEKS don't know what AI is so I don't expect any guy on the street to know either. The average American barely knows what sororities and fraternities are (outside of what they see in TV/movies).
