I'm writing a spin on an angel, and ghost mixed together. I'm calling her a traveling entity, and having her attach to a human soul, to experience their lives with them and offer advice straight into...

wow. it doesn't sound overly complicated, but clearly it is well thought out. I love that you and 3KillerBs (above) have alternate family structures! It's funny that humans like to think that we "pair...

Well, I actually don't classify them as AI. They are component--components of the computer itself. I guess because in my head a little they are people. They may be little machines, but... they're...

AI is technically non-human! Why do your characters behave so much like humans? I'm just curious...

Yeah, a lot of really great characters, I think, in this thread. It's fun to see how other approach character building for *ahem* unusual characters. :) awesome! read your synopsis and your story is...

I've always liked reading about AIs based off of humans. However, they can be really tricky to write about, though (given that they do not truly exist in space, but inside of circuitry).

Last year I wrote about a host of sentient AIs, some based on humans, some not. I've almost always got some sort of non/inhuman cast member, although so far none have turned up in this year. *pokes...

You know, you have to relate the plant to something a human can understand. What's its drama? What's the overwhelming question of the day for the plant? Here are some concepts that are "human dramas"...
