A couple of years ago I wrote this story, about a non-verbal person having an AI "voice" pressed on them. I thought it would go out of date quickly, but now I think the fact we're all so used to AI bullshit does it good - it gives the human things the story is really about room to breathe.

07:30 - Monday, 16-Feb. 4.2°C. The tide is currently falling with a low tide of 1.7m due at 09:40. This tranquil morning view features a moody, cloud-filled sky brightened by a golden sunrise, while the calm sea shows gentle ripples washing over rocky formations near the shore. #robinhoodsbay #seascape #yorkshirecoast #northyorkshire

The alien ambassador sidled through the museum in awe.

"You Humans have so much art! Do you have machines to make all paintings, poems, stories and songs?"

"We experimented with that, briefly," the guide said. "But humans are both cheaper and more creative. And, well, we will make art regardless."
