Hi everyone, I am developing a project to help people engage in constructive conversations about certain aspects of society 100 years in the future. I woud be very grateful if you could let me know which one of the 8 prompt on this website (https://www.22ndcenturyhub.com/) I have develop you find more interesting (you can also engage in a conversation with the AI, as I built in a GPT API). That would help me in further developing more prompts, I have about 60 at the moment. Thanks a lot in advance!
