Review: Weirdly Specific Mixtape Vol. 4: What’s love got to do with it? via everdeenmason
By Everdeen Mason Everdeen Mason Audience editor and science fiction and fantasy columnist Email Bio Follow Editor May 14 at 12:00 PM Writers have used artificial beings to explore our own limited understanding of humanity and morality for more than a hundred years. Even “Pinocchio,” published in 1883, is a magically bent AI story disguised as a children’s morality tale: He’s programmed to malfunction if he lies and he is able to achieve sentience as he grows and understands humanity.
But the best writers are able to explore the potential of other intelligent life-forms with more nuance. They use artificial intelligence to examine what makes someone, or something, sentient, and what it looks like when that thing is influenced by something warmer than logic and hate. Below, I’ve collected a group of stories that offer unique takes on a well-trodden subgenre of science fiction.
Many AI stories are centered on human emotion — fear, affection, hatred — projected onto the man-made creations, and here Chiang links the digients’ evolution to their emotional growth. He argues that the impetus for change and evolution is love — the intellectual and emotional nutrients we gain from receiving it, and from giving it. “Idoru,” by William Gibson
