ARTIFICIAL INCOMPETENCE

From the Fuck It, I'll Do It Myself Collection

For everyone who's ever asked artificial intelligence to save them ten minutes and lost an entire afternoon.

We've all been there.

You ask AI a perfectly reasonable question. It gives you a wonderfully confident answer. You follow its advice. Something goes horribly wrong.

You point out the mistake.

It apologises, agrees with you completely, and immediately makes another one.

Welcome to ARTIFICIAL INCOMPETENCE, a celebration of the extraordinary things that happen when supposedly intelligent machines meet ordinary human beings.

From romantic misunderstandings and mechanical catastrophes to breathtaking displays of technological stupidity, this is a world in which the machines have all the answers.

Unfortunately, most of them are wrong.

A book? A game? A support group for people who've lost the will to prompt?

Douglas is still considering his options.

One thing is certain: somebody, somewhere, is going to end up saying:

“Fuck it. I'll do it myself.”

Coming eventually. Subject to human intervention.
