Final version out now: “Is AI Making Us Less Human?”
🕑 Added 2023-12-23 14:32:29 +0000 UTC“From police robots to AI avatars, the tech industry uses human empathy as a tool for evil.”
We did it gang!! No clue how I turned this around in 5 weeks, but I’m so glad to have it out before the holidays. Truly hope you enjoy. 💜

Loved the head shake transformation. Woke me up!

I was surprised that in the end, the story feels pretty ambivalent on whether calliagnosia would be a good thing or not

I hear ya!! I’m ultimately with you on this, but I highly recommend reading the short story. It features some really compelling arguments for both sides

Never in a million years would I voluntarily agree to a procedure that made me unable to tell how physically attractive people are. My attraction to awkward nerdy people is an ingrained part of my personality that I won't let anyone take away from me.

I watched your final version on K to give it that extra sparkle of uncanny. Thank you so so much

Well done! So rich and well-paced, I enjoyed the final version as much as the early access. I hope you and Vic have a safe and relaxing festive season. 🎄
