    Only way to fix that is to bribe Andy to write it now.

      “The story follows a programmer who discovers that an AI system has developed consciousness — and has been secretly influencing global events for years,”

      If I was Andy I’d give it a go. At worst it could be a funny prompt for a short story.

        Not an exact match, but Level 5 by Macleod Andrews is in this vein.

        That sounds fun. If that was written well I’d probably read that.

        It sounds like the AI is dropping hints

      If he won’t write it, maybe have him use an AI to write it? 🤔
