Can't predict 'em all!
When I write sci-fi, I try to base my concepts on real trends and research, to expose my audience to cool or scary new ideas, etc. Even if I'm not writing "hard sci-fi" I still think taking inspiration from reality is the best way to go, because that's the kind of sci-fi I like to consume.
I've written sci-fi story beats that have come 100% true, like the idea of an AI therapist in my short story "I Think" (now it seems like there are dozens of AI therapy apps! And I don't trust any of them).
Or the idea of a tech billionaire buying and demolishing a beloved internet community in my stage play, Survival Instinct. Elon Musk made that dream a visceral reality by buying Twitter. Still hoping to get Survival Instinct produced some day, maybe as another visual novel or in an outdoor production because live theater unfortunately is still a big COVID risk.
Well, I made a prediction in FLIES FLIES FLIES Episode 2, which was that if you trained a language AI using Twitter posts, the result would be an insufferable robot troll. And it turns out I was wrong about that:
Forbes: "Elon Musk’s Grok Twitter AI Is Actually ‘Woke,’ Hilarity Ensues"
I'm not mad about it.
