Gundam Sentinel delved into various themes including what defines sentience.  A.L.I.C.E. is the AI that was developed and incorporated by the EFF into the design of Superior Gundam.  Recent developments in machine learning are available on cell phones and personal computers including machine learning.  Now, consumers can access large language models (or LLMs) for free including programs such as ChatGPT-3 by Open Ai.

Another Gundam podcast I enjoy is Colony Drop.  A few months ago, they had an episode that examined story ideas for Gundam using ChatGPT-3.     Naturally, I decided to give it a try for stories that revolve around Gundam Sentinel.

This episode covers the short manga story by Kondoh san featuring the immortal Frederick Braun.  This story is set in UC 0079 in the waning days of the One Year War.  Zeon forces are preparing for a special operation deep in Solomon.  Braun was ordered to complete this desperate mission, but will he be able to complete it?  Or will he meet his own nightmare at Solomon/ソロモンの悪夢 (sorry I had to do it)?
