I only have the epilogue left. Again, listening to the audiobook, it's odd how much it seems the narrator sounds like an AI voice over. I appreciate that the authors have taken a nuanced view of AI and looked at both sides of the hype cycle - promised benefits and existential concerns. Even their conversation with a chatbot showed how information generated by AI can be incorrect or wholly made up.

The authors are definitely more optimistic about generative AI than I am. Are there benefits to AI sorting through large amounts of data? Yes. Are there very real risks regarding government and corporate over reach? Also yes. The authors do respond to existential concerns reasonably and clearly. It's a little odd, though, I have been noticing that the audiobook narrator sounds like an AI voice over bot.
