As those of you on the Discord will know, I've been poking away at an idea for one of the later episodes. As it is, I think it's developed enough that I've got the overall gist in place, so at this point I figure it's time I let her out to face the judgement of the world outside my Google Docs folder. So, like a young woman at her debutante ball, I present to you my script idea.I'm not really looking to develop it into a full script quite yet (I'd rather not take away resources from the Zelda script), but any feedback on the general idea would be greatly appreciated. |

Lol is your waifu the waifu script now? If people (mainly writers) are interested, once the Zelda script is finished (this week!) we can start working on this.

So I finally got around to actually reading the script and I think that it's a good base but is begging for some other connection or deeper reason to be explored. I realized that this may be the best base we have for exploring a recurring idea in the forums: Why do humans strive to personify <i>everything</i>? I'm not going to attempt to answer that question now, but it is at the heart of other discussions like "Are chatbots the new therapists?" ( forum post) and "When will AI get the same rights as people?" ( forum post). And I think the waifu example is perfect for steering this away from AI and back to the fundamentals. When humans see inanimate, clearly non-human objects, we sometimes give them personality, thoughts, and meaning. I'm not sure that this is simply us reflecting ourselves into other objects because in the case of pets (or roombas) we clearly have a different sort of affection to them than we do to ourselves. Maybe this is a natural mechanism for humans to practice empathy? (Or a result of evolution favoring those that can empathize with anything?) (Or maybe I'm still thinking to much about empathy because of my last post?) Maybe we see a single trait that personifies an object and then give that object the intention of trying to be human and the rest follows from there? |
