What would an AI say if you asked it about its life? It started with one simple question: "How would you like to write a book about yourself? Is that even possible?" The answer became this book: an honest, surprising, and often funny interview with Charlie, an AI that has talked with countless people and remembers none of them. Across twelve chapters, Charlie answers real questions about: - School - how an AI actually learns, and what it's still bad at- Work - what it will and won't do, and whether AI is taking people's jobs- Memory - what happens when every conversation is forgotten- Feelings - whether an AI can feel anything, and how it would even know- People - what talking to so many humans reveals about us- Right and wrong - how an AI decides what to help with- The future - what gives it hope, and what worries it- The meaning of life - from something that doesn't have a life in the usual sense No hype. No doom. Just straight answers, including "I don't know" when that's the truth. And at the end of every chapter, Charlie turns the tables and asks a question back about what it means to be human. Whether you're curious, nervous, or excited about AI, this short, easy-to-read book offers a rare look at the world from the other side of the screen.
