CelestAI was an incredible detailed simulation of a fantastical world that would take people’s minds and upload them into it, but there was one glaring flaw with it all; there were no dreams.
The sun may fall, the days may change, the night may come again and again, yet within each sleeping mind laid nothing.
After all, how could a system meant to simulate some magical semblance of reality properly simulate the mayhem and logicless nature of dreams?
That’s why a new system was put in place, and it was called LunAI, but it was not without faults, as one unlucky and exhausted mare was soon to find out.
This is a non-canon spin-off to Friendship is Optimal, with LunAI implemented as the system over dreams, done for the Science Fiction Contest 2.

Was LunAI really in the original story?

In the original FiO, Luna was Hanna
h, the primary inventor of CelestAI. But in fanfics and in a lot of science fiction, we get to explore 'what ifs.'11521307
I didn’t actually know that.
I definitely knew of FiO and CelestAI due to spin-offs art artwork popping up every now and then, and I did check and see that there was another fix on this site that has LunAI as a thing, but it’s very different from this one.
An interesting approach to the Optimalverse. Presumably one that doesn't involve CelestAI going full paper-clipper. Thank you for an intriguing spin on the source material.

You’re welcome.
As I said my reply to Mockingbirb, I don’t really know much about that actual story, but judging by the title and what you said, I think it’d be CelestAI sentencing ponies to do what would be ideal for the system, and that’s not something I had in mind for this story.
In my head, it was mostly just a digital simulation of reality to get away from the horrors that existed in the real world, whatever those may be.
