I hear you. I think it might be because it's used so much comparatively that it ends up being utilitarian. I've heard people suggest healing magic leaving scars but I think the average adventurer would quickly start to look like Deadpool ๐

Government style ad in watercolour. Image of a burglar stealing a painting from the wall of a home. Tagline: "It's not theft... if you say you're using it to train your AI algorithm". Body text: "Theft is now legal, so we can boost the economy by eliminating jobs. If that doesn't make any sense, ask a chatbot to explain it to you." HM government logo in the corner.

Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.
This is really personal, but I like my SF tech weird. I have a degree in Physics and way too much SF tech based on real-world stuff is just a bit too... wrong. Go weird. Don't try to be plausible- you're making stuff up, it's called fiction and it's *good*.

[quoting a tweet from isabelunraveled in which she rails against depressing books that get branded as โgreat writingโ]
A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

Hello, I'm a chess player in a film. I can beat anyone in mere moves, and do not spend any time thinking. I talk constantly while playing. My opponent is surprised to find themself in checkmate. I am probably drinking heavily. I do not know how to set up a chessboard.

I donโt give a fuck about your chiropractic cures and homeopathic crystals, in this house we believe in constantly questioning our prior assumptions but only acting on them if they meet the rigorous demands of overturning currently proven practices to at least five sigma
