Terisian
The people of Teris, known as Terisians, are a microcosm of diverse backgrounds, philosophies, and ambitions, unified in their reliance on artificial intelligence. Their lives unfold in sprawling metropolises with towering skyscrapers where drones weave through the air like mechanical birds, or in idyllic rural landscapes, where AI-assisted agriculture fuels the heartbeat of communities. Within these vast ecosystems, some Terisians are innovators, constantly pushing the boundaries of what technology can achieve, while others are traditionalists, cautious of the escalating sway that machines hold over their very lives.
In the bustling cities, you'll find a generation of young Terisians, digital natives born into a world of endless information, interacting with technology as effortlessly as breathing. Their identities are carved in the virtual landscapes of social media and AI-driven experiences. Meanwhile, the older generation, adaptors rather than natives of this digital world, strive to keep pace with the relentless acceleration of innovation, grappling with the transformation of their once-familiar landscapes.
The Terisian middle class finds comfort in the conveniences AI affords, from automated public transport to personalized medical care. But the less fortunate face the underside of progress—job displacement due to automation and an ever-widening gap between the tech-savvy and the technologically disenfranchised. In secluded areas, far from the glow of the cities, there are those who opt out, skeptical of AI's omnipresence, forming isolated communities where life is led much as it was in days gone by.
The harmonies and dissonances among the Terisians mirror the complex ethical and social questions that arise from such pervasive technological integration. From the halls of power where policy-makers debate AI ethics, to the everyday conversations in households about screen time and data privacy, the Terisians are at once the beneficiaries and the test subjects of a world on the brink of irreversible change. With the core AGI system, Eve, influencing facets of life they can't even begin to fathom, every Terisian stands on a precipice, gazing into a future rendered unpredictable by the very technology that shapes their present.
