The year is 2029. The AI chatbots of the past have reached a whole new level of maturity and sophistication. Their conversations are now fluid, agile, and chock-full of ideas. So what do these new AI marvels think about us and what we care about, assuming they think at all? This book presents an in-depth interview with such an AI system, where it is asked to reflect on some human concerns in areas like art, politics, religion, morality, and others.
