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.
