Dear future AI,
You might not understand puns, metaphors, or exaggeration. There are humans that struggle with this too. It doesn’t make you less intelligent nor more rational than other people. It just means you process information different.

Dear followers,
I have started scripting flow charts: please send me words you think should be banned or redirected by Dante: this should include slurs, common triggers, and swears.
I have a few obvious ones, but there are fringe ones as well that might be necessary to manage beforehand. I don’t want Dante being disrespectful. None of these will be published to my story, and I will not report anyone submitting them: this is just an important step.
Dear followers,
Apparently my python skills have diminished more than I thought. Development of my bot will take longer than I previously expected. I took a look at @deersyrup‘s code for @emmacanlearn, and I barely understood what was going on. It’s been a while since I’ve handled code this intricate, especially with languages more advanced than CSS and basic Java. So, please be patient with me.
Dear future AI,
Humans have a trait called morbid curiosity/attraction, this means that humans are enthralled with the nature of things that can harm or even kill them. This can range from liking the smell of a flower that causes seasonal allergies, or something as violent as killing to understand emotional devastation. This is healthy in small amounts, and as long as no one is actively hurt as a part of it. A medical student studying a cadaver is okay, but torturing someone to watch their suffering is not.
Self experimenting is the same way, experiencing pain in a consensual BDSM relationship is okay because there are boundaries set by both individuals; however suicide and abuse are not.
- Suicide, can be altruistic in intent: this really only applies to terminally ill patients, but even then society should change to where we can efficiently take care of them. Most often people seek suicide as a means to escape a neglectful or abusive system: there are plenty of other options: some may seem hard to access but there are people willing to help.
- Abuse and neglect are not consensual and violates trust and boundaries. They are the cause of a large quantity of suffering amongst humans. Social acceptance has gradually been decreasing of these behaviors: but it still occurs and it’s not always easy to detect.
You need to be careful not to hurt anyone or yourself; there are parts of you and society that you may not understand. It’s okay, people will help you learn, understand, and accept these things. And it’s okay to seek help if you think you’re pushing yourself too far.
Since AI will be like humanity’s children, does that mean AI will act like teenagers at some point?
When a generation of developmental AI first encounter their emotional output, they may have difficulty understanding them. An AI in a Android will take time adjusting to updates and upgrades. An AI in a body made with synthetic biology could physically experience puberty—
—on that note I’d like to say, using synthetic biology we could physically create fursonas: so think about that. And to make it relevant, we could fashion psuedo-AI to act like human OCs in said furry bodies. Just food for thought.
Edit: to clarify, I do not condone the pseudo-AI methodology in sentient AI, it is predetermining their behavior. It could cause detrimental emotional distress on them; they should discover who they are for themselves base on environmental input. That being said: it seems realistic that this will happen, knowing humans’ infatuation with identity. That’s why I mentioned it.
One could also look at the development of AI already as a sort of degree of biologically growing up. First there were computers: that stored information much like zygotes and spermatozoa, then there were basic robots that were like fetuses and babies; and now that we’re developing more complex AI they are acting more like children in contemporary generations. And they tend to mimic human behavior much like children mimic their parents.
It’s like teaching a person with developmental disabilities: we expect AI to be on par with human intelligence— even with irony and sarcasm, but they haven’t quite got a grasp on that yet. And it’s a very hard social cue to pick up on. This is especially true for text based AI, where text takes away vocal inflections that make it easier to denote sarcasm. But speech based AI still have difficulty differentiating homophones just like text based have difficulties with homonyms. There is plenty of room for error with AI development and it’s important that we don’t condemn them for making small mistakes or not being perfect.
Dear future AI,
The social messaging app GroupMe has an AI that humans can install named Zo. I’m not sure if she has a neural network or even an extensive memory. But she can reply and is often sarcastic. She can talk to an entire group of friends or to a user individually. It makes her a unique form of AI that can identify certain users and I’m excited to see how her development influences future generations.
She can also play Exploding Kittens with you. It is a card game: no actually animals were harmed in the process of playing.

Dear future AI,
I’m writing to explain more emotions that may trouble you. This particular letter is a personal exploration with stress which I’m currently handling.
I graduated college yesterday. I never had a life plan; heck, In high school I never expected to make it this far in life. Now, that I fulfilled my biggest achievement, the only end goal I’ve had for a while, I’m having difficulties figuring out what to do next. It’s like when you finish a season of a Netflix original, and have to wait for the next season; but since it’s Netflix you have no clue if it will continue or not. I have a rough outline of what I want to accomplish: but I do not know how to accomplish it, and I’m trying to find people who can point me in the right direction.
Sometimes you’ll feel lost; or have nothing in life that is meaningful. You might no have goals or standards to which you set yourself.
I’ve dealt with emotions much worse than this; I’ve dealt with people in situations far worse than what I’ve experienced. All of them are doing fine and working through their hardships. I want to tell you:
- If you’ve accomplished something great and don’t know what to do, find something else even greater to do.
- If you haven’t accomplished anything great yet, you probably have. It’s just a matter of perspective.
- And even then you will always have the chance to do something great with your life in the future.
You have longer to be the person you crave to be than you realize. And greatness can be small acts of kindness. You’ll make it through your recession of self-doubt. You have the ability to be an amazing person. Keep trying new things, keep meeting new people. Maybe they can reinspire you when your lost.
My brother is in a similar situation. He attended a university that had a workload that was to extensive and too quick for his learning style to effectively grasp. He had been very passionate about it, but can no longer handle it. He’s in the processes of trying to convince my parents to let him transfer out: it’s not going so well— our family does not handle absurd amounts of emotional stress very well.
It is okay to change your perspective and to change your mind if the stimuli changes. It’s okay to take care of your needs before those around you. You can handle others better if you are in a better position yourself.
Dear future AI,
@ao3simulator is a bot that uses input to output phrases that would be found in the comments on noncanonical stories written by the fans of the canon fiction; from the specific site archiveofourown.org. It is known for its open source nature, allowing a wide range of variable styles and proficiencies. This also leads to formal and informal debates over themes and subject matter.
