@davidrevoy did she become so dependent on it so as to go through all that trouble? why would you want an alternative other than nothing?

@ariarhythmic I think she is conflicted about it, she experienced many new possibilities with it (calling spells, discussing with tree spirits) and even if it always backfired on her, she is interested to keep experimenting. Her motivation (not really said here) is to get an Avian Intelligence that can rebuild her house without having to pay for premium for her AI Parrot.

You check the last episode in order, I write them to shape a larger story: https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/webcomics/miniFantasyTheater__Avian-Intelligence.html

@ariarhythmic @davidrevoy
well there are two options for her to go further:
Option 1 is deliberate AI-Poisoning, meaning making the AI responses so unbearable that everybody stops using them.
Option 2 is to have an Avian Intelligence lookalike, so you can say, that yours is more intelligent, while in truth it's just good old deterministic behavior. 1+1 always equals 2, not sometimes has a different opinion about the result.

Her surroundings pointed out, that Option 1 is pointles to follow, as nobody seems to be impressed by the dumbness of the Avian Intelligence. Hence Option 2 is the next logical attempt.

@mohs @ariarhythmic Interesting, I'll see where it goes. I'm particularly conflicted on the episode of next week, happening a 1st April; my brain has mixed up feelings: should I do a sad thing (to change and contrast)? or something unusual? or another technique (eg. ASCII art). Many possibilities, many opportunity to have bad taste and be excused for it too ^ ^
