@@johnkochen7264and everything is palpable... But I think the Chen thing may be writer imbedded thing. As t least, that was one of my original theories. Some of these stories, I think, may be from other sites. I don't think all are AI written.
"Chen" is essentially the east Asian equivalent of "Smith". In the sense that it is extremely common. It literally is the most common surname in Taiwan. It is also the most common surname in several areas of China (not sure about the country as a whole though). So to me you just basically said "X is bad, use X instead sometimes". I agree that it is overused, but so are a bunch of other things and tbh its the rehashing of adjectives (e.g. indominable, palpable) that really gets to me. Maybe because it is normal to hear the same names used over and over irl, that it is easier to deal with.
@@ihspstanktribe Also, Chen is ludicrously common in east Asia. So if someone is looking for something like a good name to use, which isn't super common in their native land, Chen would be a very logical one for them to come across and use. (So many times you really NEED uncumbersome words for proper nouns in a work of fiction. Common names tend to be just that.)
@@maryadams6415 In terms of ethnicity, Taiwan and China are both essentially almost entirely composed of the Han ethnicity. So when it comes to things that have been part of their culture for a long time, such as surnames, there are many many instances of them being the same. Since it is only in living memory that their cultures truly started to diverge (such as the use of traditional vs simplified chinese).
Clone Chen went from captain to admiral, admiral is 4 stars 1 star is commodore. Then rear admiral is 2 stars, vice admiral is 3 stars, the full admiral 4 stars. So this A.I. jumps over the various admiral ranking. Your A.I. is dumber than a box of rocks.
No it's not! You're talking about old school Navy. This is Star Command. They can restructure the command sequence any way they want. If they had wanted to they could have made her a General just like the Air Force.
That sounds like the Royal Navy. For the USN O-7 (1 star) is 'rear admiral (lower half)', O-8 (2 stars) is 'rear admiral' (sometimes called 'rear admiral upper half'). O-9 is vice admiral and O-10 is admiral. There is also a 5 star fleet admiral rank that hasn't been used since the 40s but can still be used if needed. Food for thought: If you really look at the words used in various languages, often back in the day what we would call an "admiral" or "fleet admiral", would actually be called the same thing they used for what we would call a "general" with some addition denoting that it was on water. With very literal translations coming out as things like 'general of the ocean' or something like that. That or they would literally just be the called the same thing, such as ancient Athens was with its 'strategoi'. You can even see something similar in China right now. The full name of the CCP's navy (note not China's navy, it is an arm of the CCP itself) is the People's Liberation Army Navy, no lie.
@@michaellinnet6095 I never liked how Mass Effect tried to mix Navy and Marine ranks and rate (rank is for officers, rate is for enlisted). The in-game codex lists what they use for enlisted and officers and it doesn't really line up with what we currently have and doesn't offer any explanation as to what is really what for about half of the ranks and rates. You have to make some assumptions for it to make sense. Assumptions that we shouldn't have to make. Assumptions you can only make if you are a bit familiar with the modern US military. Either use an existing system. Or in no uncertain terms lay it out somehow. Mass Effect could have done it right with just a little bit of additional info in the codex. If you make changes to an existing system, you can't just leave it to the audience to piece it together. edit: when the audience isn't given the pieces.
@@whyjnot420 LOL. No shit. And in most real life militaries you're not going to get that many jumps in rank no matter what kind of insane plan you manage to pull off.
@@michaellinnet6095 Have you read or heard of the Seafort Saga? The first book is called Midshipman's Hope. That gives you a good idea of where the main character starts out. It is essentially Horatio Hornblower in space. When given a timescale that allows for development, it can work. Midshipman's Hope is a great example. I won't spoil it, but the main character is much more than a midshipman by the end. In the real world, you will find the occasional story of people who just power on up the ladder of command. But the longer the ladder they climb, the rarer they get. And it tends to be a more traditional, one rung at a time climb. However things like what happen in Midshipman's Hope actually did happen irl, to some extent (a massive jump in rank). But are really relegated to the pages of history, back in the days of wooden ships and whatnot. edit: The Seafort Saga is pretty good btw. I do recommend it.

The AI announced that the arrival was "2.3 light years from Confederation space". That means that, traveling at the speed of light (Warp 1) it would take 2.3 YEARS to reach Confederation space. Not a very close arrival. Why can't the bot reader pronounce Orion properly? How about agape? The printout consistently prints haul, hole, or hall, meaning hull. When the Confederation ships plan to detonate their warp cores the printout shows "work" cores. As the battle ends the printout shows 'chips' meaning ships. Really inane. Too many pronunciation errors to list here. Hopefully, AI bot readers will soon learn English properly. Next the writer should learn the promotion ladder. To go from Captain to Admiral would piss off enough in-between ranks to start a war. Excellent story debased by important details.
These stories show how it should be with all life. Unfortunately greed and stupidity will keep us all in the dirt until death when a future like this is possible if not in space at least on Earth. What a waste.
Maybe calling your peace ship a thunderbolt was the wrong name if the alien species understood the nuance of the language. Also arriving in a massive war ship was not the best opening to a peace overture. Like arriving to seek open peace on a nuclear tipped bomber.
The overall episode was great. Great story line , few repetitions. This idea of Galactic alliance where everyone is valued equally & the younger , weaker ones are guided is the truth of the universe. We are the oddball because we strayed away from the original intention. we were not forced out but we created our own quarantine conditions through rebellion
Chin Admiral chin would have been dismissed for a general and not just any general. At least a 3 star general. United states does not take this lightly
More AI crap, robo narration, more errors in the on screen text, yet another completely repetitive "humans are weak stupid primitives, and the aliens laughed, are surprised, shocked, amazed" idiotic story. It's the same AI theme rewritten over and over.
Chen family will apparently rule the Cosmos in the future
😂😂
Yet another Chen clone imagine that.
Out of all the names of the human race why is it always Chen Jesus use a smith or something once in a while
And then there are resolve, determination and bristling with weapons.

Chinese AI written and narrated.
Apart from the appalling ship name...... I loved this one.
The AI reading got the name horribly wrong - it's Aria.
That was a damn good story, well paced and well played out. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Probably a Chinese AI! lol

Is every central character named Chen?
Another damn Chen..Somebody give the ai a liat of names.
Not another Chen! Not for me!

sooo. they could have used that graviton thingy from the start and end this with no casualties?
Why are the majority of the protagonist female now?
it's obvious isn't it?

Rather than wasting people's time, fix the AI and restore the missing dialog
If the AI wasint compromised by lefyest doctoren, the captain would be smith, the designer, stevenson and the ship name Dredknoght.

Pity the ship wasn't called Thunderchild, after the heroic battleship that killed a Tripod in the English Channel in Wells' War of the Worlds
Galactic Empire and it has just 1 fleet. you kind of need more then that to keep the systems in line.

Oh we have wounded chips The horror
Chin or Reyes I'm automatically turning it off. Enough already.
Apparently men do not command anything anywhere, in any stories.
The narration here felt a bit to fast imo.
Reading sliiightly slower would've been ideal
When's Part 2?
Chen and Raj Patel
As usual, I must emphasize how much I enjoy this channel. However, there were still a few issues with repeating sentences, but not too bad😊😊
Chen is the future's smith 😂😂😂😂
Chen, Raj Patel, some Hispanic name and we have a story
leave it to AI to come up with women leading a mission called thunderclap.
