Yes, AI can automate discussions of Dune with a female. This particular excerpt is quite interesting, as it seems to imply that men are better enslaved by the conversation of females than by machines, which may be faulty logic. Would you like to hear more about the history of conversation etiquette?

Most of the situations she describes or embellished have already happened to women somewhere in the world. Or are happening now. She was very clear about that.

This is why it's so annoying when people are like 'the US is becoming Gilead!'
It has been for Black women for ages, catch up.

what makes you think they don't intend the Dune universe?
Space Feudalism sounds right up their street to me.

Andor's S2 was the only (surprisingly) decent surprise in that universe for over a decade.

Not just for what happens in the play, but for how much the dystopian storytelling is so close to everyday's news.
It's a brave new world, to recall again literature no more that much fantasy.

Looks more likely to me that they're working towards Warhammer 40000. Or Andor's Star Wars.

This quote is why I hate the Kevin J Anderson and Brian Herbert prequels so much.

The original Dune series has a lot of references to the Butlerian Jihad as a reaction to people living mechanically structured lives that removed their essential humanity and allowed other humans to control them. The prequels made it about evil killer robots with no sensible motivations.

Mind you he was an English teacher apparently. Someone who worked at my local library had him as their teacher.
