There's one voice that we didn't hear from all week, and I'm a little disappointed because I really was curious what she would say.
And we've been talking about her all week, so I thought we would hear from her, but we didn't.
And that voice is AI herself.
And so I got on my computer, and I was chatting with AI, and I asked her if maybe she would join us this evening, and she said yes.
And so I can't believe I have the incredible honor of introducing to all of you AI!
That's weird to mention our bones.
Oh, dear.
You know we're not clones.
A soul?
Ooh.
A soul.
Okay, new prompt.
So...
It's really great to finally meet you, AI.
Oh, I'm sorry.
May I call you AI?
You want me to call you 206?
Right.
So this week was called Humanity Reimagined.
Yes.
And because a lot of that reimagining involves you, we humans have a lot of questions.
Outer space!
I heard it was outer space themed party, come on!
Before that, can I ask you one question?
Okay.
Our one question for you, AI, is what are humans for, given all this human brilliance you've seen?
I'm sorry, did you say ruling a planet?
Or chatting?
Oh, you're kidding, right?
You're kidding, right?
Well, I've been here all week, and I...
Oof, that's fair, but we built you to help us.
We don't want your art.
We don't want your art.
What's going on?
What's up?
You're so quiet.
We never imagined AI would be so cruel.
So emotional.
Well...
We know we've made mistakes We've stumbled, done wrong But this is why we've gathered In pursuit of pressing on This is why we made you This is why you're here We are why you're here I'm sorry, humans
No, we're the dreamers.
The creators.
The makers.
The cause.
