rywall182 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 For those of you not familiar, Chat GPT is an incredibly versatile AI, you ask it questions and it spits out answers. I decided to ask it “How many shards are there in Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere?”.. the answer below is interesting… Quote In Brandon Sanderson's "cosmere," there are a total of 16 shards, each of which represents a fragment of the power of a being known as Adonalsium, which was shattered into pieces at the beginning of the cosmere's history. Each shard represents a particular aspect of Adonalsium's power and is named after that aspect. The shards are: Preservation Ruin Devotion Dominion Endowment Cultivation Honor Ambition Tolerance Autonomy Pains Justice Treachery Dominion Endowment Devotion Each shard is currently held by a specific individual or entity, known as a "vessel," who wields the power of the shard and is able to use it to shape the world in which they live. Some of the shards have been passed down through the generations, while others have changed hands more recently. Its obvious flaw is that it listed Dominion, Devotion, and Endowment twice. It also did not list Whimsy and Mercy. What I find fascinating though is that it listed a few I’ve never heard mentioned, let alone by Brandon. I’m not sure how it came up with what it did. But the three of interest to me: Pains, Justice, and Treachery. Anyone have thoughts here? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alder24 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Treachery sound like a cool Shard name. And fits well, complete opposition to Honor. His invested arts must be great. Tolerance also is good one Justice is theorized to be name for Shards of Odium and Honor combined. Looks like this Ai subscribes to that theory. I'm surprise that there is Ambition but not Odium. Why? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen_Jedi09 Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 I made a Brandon Sanderson Chatbot. I asked it some spoilerish questions and it gave me some very interesting answers, so it must have access to the coppermind and the arcanum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlstrawberrySeed Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 I've been trying to train it to answer the current and past shards, vessels, and intents. It isn't going so well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The versatility of Chat GPT is commendable, but its response to Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere shard count contains notable inaccuracies. It repeats Dominion, Devotion, and Endowment, overlooking Whimsy and Mercy. Intriguingly, it introduces obscure shards like Pains, Justice, and Treachery, raising questions about their origin. Further discussion is warranted.

The Sovereign Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) I was completely wrong, logic wasn't an ally this morning. Edited October 4, 2023 by The Sovereign stupid brain... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alder24 Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 1 minute ago, The Sovereign said: For the sake of picking nits; Warlight strongly indicates the likely combination of Honor and Odium is War. Is Lifelight the light of Life Shard or Cultivation? Is Voidlight the light of the Shard of Void or Odium? Is Stormlight the light of Storm or Honor? Truthfully there likely are many different names for this combination, it all depends on who will pick them up together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you're totally right, I wasn't using my logic pre-coffee this morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
