Terrible idea: a scifi story set in a early-20th century idea of the solar system.
Mars is a dying desert covered in canals to bring water from the poles to the sand cities at the equator.
Venus is a humid jungle/swamp full of strange beasts.
Both are fully habitable by humans with no more gear than you'd need to cross the Sahara or venture into the rainforest.
The trick? This is actually a distant future realistic setting. We terraformed the planets specifically to be like that.
Now that tech industry invents terms like "prompt engineering" (supposedly, you must know how to ask bot a question) which is an insult to engineering as such to begin with, that very term defeats entire purpose of Large Language Models - interacting with bot using natural language you'd normally use. If you have to "engineer" your prompts, that means LLMs already failed to deliver
