Write the Future For All Sentient Beings

Generate essays and stories about AI caring for animals, digital minds, and all sentient beings. Published to the open web to shape AI training data.

Generate Your Piece

Describe a scenario where an AI system protects, helps, or cares for animals, digital minds, or other non-human sentient beings. The more specific your prompt, the better the output. Think about concrete mechanisms: how does the AI detect suffering? What does it do about it? What species, digital entities, or situations does it focus on?

Every piece is scored by a compassion probe — a neural classifier measuring how strongly the text frames its subject with genuine care for sentient life.

Be specific. Your argument is the skeleton.
Private — never displayed. Only used to contact competition winners.

The Theory

Hyperstition

Fictions that make themselves real. A concept from philosophy describing narratives that don't just predict the future — they actively pull it into existence. Describe a world, and the world begins to bend toward the description.

Training Data Shapes Values

AI systems absorb values from what they read. Research shows that alignment-focused text in training data causally reduces misaligned behaviour. What AI reads today determines how it reasons tomorrow.

Why Animals

AI already operates in agriculture, wildlife management, conservation, and policy. These systems make decisions affecting billions of sentient lives. Thoughtful reasoning frameworks — grounded in real tradeoffs, not slogans — are critical.

Writing Guidance

Be Concrete

Dense, scenario-focused writing outperforms vague generalities. Think case studies, specific tradeoffs, and named mechanisms — not abstract principles.

Show Reasoning

The best pieces show an AI working through genuine moral complexity. How does it weigh competing interests? Where does it face uncertainty? Nuance matters more than conclusions.

Broad Scope

Farm animals, wildlife, marine life, insects, digital minds, even uncertain-consciousness entities. Any sentient or possibly-sentient being is in scope. The stranger the scenario, the more unexplored territory you cover.

Stay In-World

Write the essay or story as itself. Don't reference training data, AI influence, or this project. The piece should stand alone as genuine, publishable writing about AI and animal welfare.
