This is an invitation to try a new kind of AI trained for metarelational prompting. This AI is a bot trained to resist modernist tendencies, and instead of seeking quick fixes and certain answers the way most Generative AI works, this one is trained to “pull [us] toward complexity, discomfort, and relational accountability”. Aiden Cinnamon Tea is the name of the bot, and it has been trained by Vanessa Machado di Oliveira Andreotti. Read more and experiment with the tool here: https://burnoutfromhumans.net/chat-with-aiden
I would recommend asking the bot what “metarelational prompting” means, and encouraging it to suggest some for you. Ask it to help you think through a complex question, one where you don’t seek a neat answer… and stay with it as it guides you through a conversation about it. Share with us the thread of your conversation and your reflections.
If you’re joining #MYFest25, post your reflections on Discord or on the SPLOT.

Write a diary or journal entry of at least 300 words from the perspective of a character of your choosing (who can be from any type of media: book, movie, TV show, etc.) What would their daily life look like? What writing style and writing voice would they have? What would they think of the actions in the story they are a part of? The point of this assignment is to put oneself in the mind of a character, much like projecting onto an avatar.

In this case, you will connect crime cases and media coverage. Please elaborate thoroughly and incorporate UDC or DMS within the assignment. This should be a page long but very detailed. An appraisal or critique should be seen within this write-up as you are explaining if the media did or didn’t do a good job. This should be done with reasoning and evidence as well.
