@futurebird I've been thinking a lot about how in fiction AIs are often depicted as more sapient than the humans around them give them credit for but rarely depicted as less.

I suppose the urge to assign minds to things is just too strong? Maybe "people think this is alive but it isn't" just isn't a compelling story? There's some alien mind or incomprehensible AI stories, but that's different.

Anyway, it sure would be nice to have a popular piece of fiction to point some of these tech guys to.
