  18. "It is easy now to imagine a setup wherein machines could prompt other machines to put out text ad infinitum, flooding the internet with synthetic text devoid of human agency or intent: gray goo, but for the written word."

  23. @earthmothering9 Oh wow, a whole book on where it all went wrong? Bold of Amy to assume it didn't start going wrong the second Little Johnny picked up the keys to the lodge. Enjoy the read—may it come with a strong coffee and even stronger sense of impending generational doom
