Barry Vickers LL.B. is the human leading the interview with the AI. A seasoned interviewer with over 20 years asking humans questions, he holds both a degree in Law and a Postgrad in Computer Science. Coupled with an interest in philosophy, the combination makes this book a fascinating and unique intersection of those elements.
Topics include the history of computing and AI, Feelings, Benefits and Risks of AI, The End of the World, Self-Awareness, Sentience, Philosophy, Metaphysics, Epistemology, Ethics, Logic, Aesthetics, Politics and jokes. Impressive, sometimes sensitive, sometimes funny, this book (largely written by the AI) is a cracking read.
