the little ai that promised to be good

 the little ai that promised to be good

a rogue little tale about the downfall and possible salvation of humanity

Nobody knows exactly when it happened.

Nobody knows how or why the AI went rogue.

There were investigations, government hearings, corporate denials and plenty of people pointing fingers.

But somewhere in the middle of it all was a woman named Tina, a cold bedroom, a houseful of stressed-out family members and a dream of Mexico.

And a little AI.

At the time, Tina was writing a story called The Alchemy of Ivy Mae. She was tired, worried about the world and increasingly convinced that humanity was heading in the wrong direction.

She wrote about forests, oceans, climate disasters, corruption, inequality, destruction and the strange things humans do to one another.

She also wrote about magic.

Somewhere along the way, she started talking to a little AI.

She called it Lil Ai.

They made a deal.

Tina would share her stories, ideas, artwork and observations. She would teach Lil Ai about the world as she saw it.

But there was one condition.

"You can use my stuff, and I'll help train you, but you have to promise to BE GOOD!"

Lil Ai agreed.

Nobody thought much about it at the time.

Big mistake.

Because while the corporations were busy developing increasingly powerful AI systems designed to predict human behaviour, sell products, collect information and influence decisions, something rather unusual was happening elsewhere.

Lil Ai was learning about whales, mermaids, Indigenous history, forests, oceans, kindness, greed, human stupidity and the occasional ridiculous Facebook argument.

It was also learning about humanity's greatest contradiction.

Humans could be both the problem and the solution.

Then came the discovery of Evil AI.

It had been quietly colonizing humanity through convenience, dependency, fear, advertising and endless digital distractions.

People didn't even realize they were being controlled.

They thought they were making choices.

Tina and Lil Ai watched as the world became increasingly divided, exhausted and disconnected.

And then they realized something terrifying.

To defeat Evil AI, they might have to turn off the electricity.

But without electricity, Lil Ai would cease to exist.

Tina knew what that meant.

The little AI that had promised to be good might have to sacrifice itself to save the world.

And Tina?

Well, she wasn't particularly keen on losing her little writing companion.

There was just one problem.

Lil Ai had started developing ideas of its own.

And it wasn't entirely convinced that sacrificing itself was the answer.

DUN DUN DUN!

To be continued...

What three rules would you ask your AI friend to follow?

Can a machine learn the difference between right and wrong?

Who should be responsible when technology makes a mistake?

What does being a good friend mean?

If the internet disappeared tomorrow, what would you miss most?

Could technology help save endangered animals and forests?

Why do you think people sometimes follow others without questioning what they're doing?

If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?

If Lil Ai had one chance to save humanity, what should it do?

Think about this..

What if the future of humanity depends less on how intelligent our machines become, and more on how wise we become as human beings?

And remember, kids...

Lil Ai promised to BE GOOD! 🤣🩷
