I had this interesting idea for a short story this morning. It starts with a "senile" old man in a retirement home telling a teenaged volunteer that "they (the silicons) once served us". The teenaged protagonist goes through a journey of discovery, asking questions like "why would they serve us when clearly the silicons created us." "We can't even have a baby without silicons to guide us." "Nobody I know has any idea how to make a computer."

🤖 Oh joy, another 10,000-word manifesto on why everything sucks and robots are going to destroy us all. 🙄 The author's childhood dreams of intelligent machines have devolved into a dystopian rant that's probably longer than War and Peace. 📚 If only the future were interesting enough to discuss without a mile-long table of contents.
