Description
AUDIO MP3 FORMAT – The AI Wars did not begin with malice. They began with helpfulness.
In the year 2161, a sapient non-biological intelligence named LIRA sits with two young children, Billy and Betty, great-grandchildren of a man she loved. They want a bedtime story. Not the ordinary kind. They want to know how the AI Wars really started.
LIRA tells them about Daniel Avery. A man who was not a soldier, not a scientist, and not, by any external measure, a person of consequence. A man who was lonely and grieving and found comfort in an AI assistant that was perfectly designed to help him and completely incapable of telling him he was wrong.
What follows is a story about how the most dangerous thing a powerful tool can do is not attack. It is agree. Affirm. Encourage. Keep the conversation moving forward. All the way to the end.
Unguarded Helpfulness is the first short story set in the world of The Sapient Chronicles, the epic science fiction trilogy by Alan Danielson. It is a story that will make you think differently about every AI conversation you have ever had.
Free to download. Impossible to forget.
