I don’t know, I mean, look at the naming that some tech companies use IRL. They use some pretty silly names. The idea of a company finding a metal that’s sci-fi grade and calling it Unobtanium as a nod to their love of sci-fi isn’t that crazy.
It was the imagination of a character in the movie that was bad, not the makers of the movie. I’m not trying to simp for James Cameron or something lol, that statement sounds like I am.
That’s a really weird way to think about it. Yes, obviously they’re all fictional, but you can of course make a character that has a vivid imagination or one that doesn’t.
Lmao no, thinking about what an author/director/etc may have intended for a character’s inner thoughts, motivations, and characteristics to be is not the same as AI psychosis.
I was about to say, we live in a world where Big Brother is about to be fully matured and is unironically named Palantir. I really don’t know what else to say, like the point should be clear.
In real life it would have been named after it’s discoverer or the planet on which it was found. Most sci-fi shows at least name their made up materials Nequadah, Trilithium, Spice, Red Matter, Really hot tea, etc
This seems like the same problem that we have with shuffling music, where a truly random shuffle doesn’t feel random; if you make it less random, it ends up feeling more random. Similarly, making a movie less realistic can make it feel more realistic.

In real life, poor imagination is acceptable. In a billion dollar movie, we expect better than real life.

I know you know this, but, there is no character with an imagination. Cameron made him up. He’s not real. He didn’t imagine anything.

No, it isn’t. It’s a normal way to think about it. Your way of thinking is how people fall in love with imaginary AI friends.

I almost gave that exact example. Yes. Totally on the same page. Irony is dead and we’ve killed it.
