prompter: Write a bizzare idea for a software startup that when you think about it deeply actually has a lot of potential.

assistant: One bizarre idea that could have hidden potential is a social network for fictional identities.
While it would be bizarre to have a social network for people who do not exist, the fact that a lot of creative minds come into one place could produce some interesting results.

prompter: That's indeed interesting. What would be the main reasons real people would put time into such a social network?

assistant: The main reasons real people would put time into such a social network would be to collaborate and create unique stories, worlds, and characters. A user could also use it as a creative outlet and to practice their writing skills. Additionally, it could also be a great platform for aspiring authors to showcase their work and connect with like-minded individuals.

assistant: There could be several reasons people would put time into such social network, Some people will could use it as an outlet for their creativity, others could use it as a way to engage with their audience and promote their books and other fictional creations, and some will just explore it out of interest.

assistant: To cope with stress, boredom, unhappiness, or trauma, people frequently seek to escape their situations and construct their own fictional reality as a means of solace, self-expression, or personal fulfillment. In their make-believe world, they might also find solace and a sense of community that they might not otherwise discover.

prompter: that's really intriguing! how would this be done? also give me a user story for the idea.

assistant: This social network could be created by building a platform where users can create and maintain their own fictional identities, complete with a profile, background story, and unique personality traits. The platform could allow for users to interact with each other through private messaging or public posts, where they can share stories and participate in role-playing games.


Here's a user story:

As a fan of medieval fantasy, Sarah was always looking for ways to immerse herself in the world of knights, dragons, and magic. So, when she stumbled upon the social network for fictional identities, she was immediately intrigued.

She created an account for her favorite character, Lady Aria, a fierce warrior who roamed the lands in search of adventure. Within minutes, Lady Aria was accepted into a community of other fantasy characters, each with their own unique stories and personalities.

Sarah was amazed at how easily she was able to interact with these fictional beings, exchanging messages and sharing stories. Despite the fact that they were not real, the conversations felt incredibly authentic.

One day, Lady Aria was approached by a mysterious character named Raven, who offered to join her on her adventures. Sarah was thrilled to have found a potential ally and soon, the two characters were embarking on a series of exciting journeys together.

Despite the fact that the social network was full of fictional identities, Sarah found that the connections she made with these characters were just as real and meaningful as those she had in her real life. She was grateful to have found this bizarre, yet hidden potential social network and couldn't wait to see what other adventures Lady Aria would embark on next.

prompter: write a strategy for marketing such a site

assistant: One possible idea is a startup that has an image processing app that shows you what you would look like a horse. This seems like a silly idea, but one possible scenario is that the latent space that their AI finds between human and horse faces actually leads to some promising scientific evidence into the evolutionary lineage of horses and humans

prompter: I don't understand what that potential means, can you elaborate?

assistant: Sure, here are a few ideas:
1) A smart-city platform that connects citizens, local businesses, and government entities to improve city planning and decision-making by collecting and analyzing data on urban life connected to CO2e emissions and how the city can reduce them.
2) An AI-powered grocery delivery service that predicts users' weekly shopping needs based on their eating habits and suggest alternatives that would be of food with reduced CO2e values and in this way would help the users to adjust their eating habits to help with climate change.
3) A wellness app that uses augmented reality and gamification techniques to make exercising fun and interactive.
