Our Prompt: November 10, 2043
This is the prompt we gave to ChatGPT and Gemini:
Write the opening scene of Darwin's Edge, which takes place in the Washington office of Senator Henry Van Buren and has been called by Van Buren to plan his campaign for the 2044. It's taking place on Tuesday, November 10, a week following the election of 2043, which didn't substantially change the politics of Washington but pointed toward a growing interest among Americans in enjoying the economic fruits of brain/computer interfaces, having seen them deployed in many powerful ways through an array of smart caps and smart helmets. Van Buren opens the meeting, welcoming Derek Barnes, the newly named CEO of AI and Faith; Sarina Rao, Founder and CEO of Darwin's Edge, and Michael Carmody, Senior Vice President for Marketing and Flourishing at Darwin's Edge. Van Buren details for Barnes, Rao, and Carmody, and asks for their input. Here are the three key questions as Van Buren sees them: 1) Has the technology reached the point where we can seriously contemplate not only upgrading but equalizing the mental capacities of all Americans, putting us all on an equal footing? 2) If so, what are their visions of the NB/CI. What are the new functionalities, capabilities, skills, and mental experience we can expect Brain/Computer Interfaces generally and ThinkPal specifically to reliably deliver to the American people? 3) How would they suggest we pay for the development and deployment of the NB/CI? 4) How would they suggest we build its development and deployment into the federal bureaucracy? What existing units of federal and state governments are likeliest to take ownership of this initiative? 5) What role should we look to the Smartacus AI Colossus to play in the development and deployment of ThinkPal 6.0 and the 9G Wireless Neural Connector? 6) How is our message best communicated and made persuasive to the American people? 7) As a candidate for the United States Presidency, what pledges to the American people would you suggest I now make? 8) How is our campaign best orchestrated, given FDA's authorization to install ThinkPal 6.0 in seven volunteers? 9) Would you suggest I open a series of hearings? 10) What name would you give these presentations to the American people by experts? 11) Most importantly, are you with me on building the NC/BI? This isn't going to be easy, but we at least will know we're doing the best we can to save democracy and the essential dignity of all Americans in the face of transformational changes of humanity. I have just one more question: What shall be our campaign slogan?"
