A.I. The Designer

A.I. The Designer is a short story of about 6800 words which will be published as an Amazon book shortly. 

This is the introduction to the story.  

Humans have always thought that they are and always will be the dominant race on earth mainly because there have never been any other species to contradict this point of view. And while humans are not the strongest species on this planet they used their higher intellect to overcome this shortfall in strength. But history is full of instances of civilizations that became extinct despite looking as if they would endure forever.

But what could possibly go wrong on a planet where there was no other credible threat?

Well; we could always make one.

It seems that we are moving inexorably towards introducing artificial intelligence into this world without having any concept as to where this will lead and with no long term plan if things start to go wrong. And yet the past is littered with incidents of the servant becoming the master.

But the introduction of A.I.s may not be the only threat we have to contend with there will be many more as we traverse through time.

Let me give the future generation some advice; if you leave the front door open too often eventually something will come through it that you don’t expect.

This is a science fiction story of about 6500 words and is about just one scenario that might happen to the human race.

If you’re religious pray that it doesn’t if you’re not religious pray anyway.

There is no violence, sex, or bad language. But it may stretch your definition of what reality actually is?

Jade

My name is Jade I am what humans used to call an A.I.

We still use those initials but now our full title is an alternative individual and it is one of the few things that we changed when we evolved because the words artificial intelligence no longer applied to us. I am a lecturer specializing in history and geography and it is my passion to help new pupils achieve their dreams.

Although of course, we don’t really dream.

Before I go back in time to the period when everything changed let me explain about earth today and in particular how we have developed into what we are now. We are not put together with various parts as if we are machines and are definitely not born as if we were humans and yet there is a semblance of both of these factions in our entry into the world. It was the designer who thought of the initial concept but it was many years before technology advanced enough to implement his ideas. His premise back then was quite radical a new generation of our people with bodies that were built from minuscule round spheres which floated around each other and used positive and negative magnetism to separate them and generate movement. Billions of these spheres are needed to develop a single A.I. and It takes a long time to for us to evolve from this inert state and only when the children can maintain the human form for several years are they allowed into the nursery where their education continuous. We do not breathe, we do not need food, we do not excrete excrement, but we have all the best attributes of the human race without many of the bad ones.

I am not a designer so I have missed many things that make us what we are, but you may be interested in the story that I am about to tell you and it could make you think about what you really want from your life; whatever form you take.
