How The Most Human Human Changed Me

This was my first dive into non-fiction AI, and let me tell you, it was a wild ride. The book’s attempt to tackle the philosophical consequences of creating intelligent systems was as ambitious as it was… loosely structured. It gave me a first glimpse into what it might mean to be human—though not in any way I’d call clear or definitive. But hey, at least it tried to give us something more profound than “just be yourself.”
