To be fair, The Last Algorithm does sound like it could be a gripping tale to an AI.
The psyop here is to convince people that AI is real. In reality computers are not intelligent, but the powerful would love to divest their apparent responsibility.
However, `the computer said I had to do it´ will ultimately fail the Nuremburg Defense
Only way to fix that is to bribe Andy to write it now.
“The story follows a programmer who discovers that an AI system has developed consciousness — and has been secretly influencing global events for years,”
If I was Andy I'd give it a go. At worst it could be a funny prompt for a short story.
It sounds like the AI is dropping hints
If he won't write it, maybe have him use an AI to write it? 🤔
Oh no, we'll miss out on another story featuring a totally-not-a-self-insert Mary Sue le epic Redditor MC single-handedly sciencing the fuck out of everything?
It's almost mandatory to have a Mary Sue in situations where shit hits the fan in space. Otherwise you'll just have a dead character pretty quickly.
Robinson Crusoe wasn't a Mary Sue, and that's the archetype of the genre. Andy is just not a very good writer. In his defence, though, at least he isn't Ernest Cline.
Gladly, not sadly.
Well... Dandelion Wine is real...
