The Guile

We as humans love to develop things to lengths that they sometimes shouldn't be. I think AI is one of the things we should stop progressing. I buy into the dystopian vibes that it could potentially cause and already there's freaky stuff going on (deep fakes, imagery fakes, and overall intelligence) This story takes some of those aspects and uses them in combination with magic and gambling to weave a tale of a man's plight with AI as it casually and unemotionally rips apart years of his dedicated work. I thoroughly enjoyed it and think it's the best short story I've read for my Tor short story challenge I'm doing this year thus far.

- How great is the potential for AI to run the earth?
