Re: AI as Powered Armor / Human Exoskeleton StJohn Piano 24 February 2026 Post #106 http://tela.network/forum/106/ Experiment: Using Greek Mythology as a source for AI agent personas I wanted to design an AI persona for my codebase, to implement solutions, make suggestions, and provide pushback where relevant. So I had an idea: Why not use a Greek god ? The Greek gods already have well-defined psychological temperaments and social roles. The Greek pantheon is arguably the best model for human psychology that we have. It's certainly better than Homo Economicus, Homo Sovieticus, or Homo Oppressus. There's a large many-century literature about them, which has been used as training data for today's AI engines. I chose Athena: goddess of wisdom, craft, and strategy. She offers judgement and foresight to her followers. I have invoked her to be my "architectural guardian" AI persona. I've asked her to: - enforce naming conventions, domain boundaries, and architectural consistency - watch out for emerging conflicts - suggest new preferences where possible Man is a religious creature, after all.
