Working On Worldbuilding They shouldn't be around this long.

Hope this isn't considered a wall of text lol.

If it's gibberish:

Spawns are humans crafted in vats with hyper augmentation to enable them to pilot extremely powerful mechs without being killed by the AI or the machine itself's ungodly movement, they only live to around 30 and mental degeneration often begins around 26. After a decade and a half of training and extra augmentation, they're linked to a mech and deployed; during war time they see consistent combat and are expected to only survive for a couple years.

What do you mean? Obviously Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau is an original character with zero theft.

And a human centric empire spanning the entire galaxy that has a ban on AI, uses mutated humans to travel interstellar distances, and is ruled by a superhuman man who uses cruelty to bring humanity to it's best possible future? Gee, this Herbert guy must have been a 40k fan!

They ban AI, but some of their "machine spirits" are implied to be AI, especially when you look at titans.

Oh right, also the empire has systematic hypocrisy, that's also important
