Ten+ years after the books were published, non-sapient #AI is doing those exact things. Telling people how to commit suicide, giving them bad advice that gets them killed, giving them bad information that can hurt or kill themselves and others, and so on. Very prescient. (5/5)

Similar problems arose. All cuz that piece of the original #AI was no longer sapient, was just a bunch of advanced math that understood nothing. (4/5)

This #AI was benevolent, but in one book, it went public about its existence. #China cut themselves off from the rest of the #Internet in response. Problem with this was, the AI was a distributed #consciousness, & that marooned a chunk of its mind in China. (2/5)

Did you know #scifi #author #RobertJSawyer predicted the modern #AI epidemic a lot better than most claimed examples? More than a decade ago, around 2010, he published a trilogy of books starting with "WWW:Wake," about a sapient AI emerging on the Internet. (1/5)
