The Tyranny of AI Everywhere
I had the strangest dream. I dreamed that my shoes—my comfortable, unfashionable wool shoes—were pivoting to AI. “But you’re a shoe company,” I said. “Just go out of business! Keep your dignity!”
TL;DR
- The author dreams of various objects and companies pivoting to AI.
- These AI transformations lead to absurd and frustrating situations, such as shoes attempting to harm the dreamer and cereal becoming inedible.
- Even abstract concepts like recipes and stories are altered by AI, losing their original purpose.
- The dream expresses a feeling of overwhelm and a desire for things to remain as they were before AI became ubiquitous.
- The dream concludes with the realization that nothing truly dies but instead "becomes AI," even a scream.
