I AM AI by Ai Jiang

kaylin1612's review against another edition

3.0

Short quick read. I think the message is nice, that to be human is a special, fragile thing that we should all be thankful for, especially during the rise of AI. I think it does paint a pretty clear picture of where we will be in the future, like nothing really sounded too far off. And that is honestly scary every time I have to face that. But I do have faith in humanity, in the power of community. I can only hope I have people to stick together with when times get tough.

As this was another pretty short read, my review for it isn’t very long either. Once again though, Ai Jiang managed to really pack a punch in such a short amount of time together. This was a fascinating look at a character trying to make a desperate living in desperate times when the line between human and machine becomes increasingly blurry. The anxiety felt by the MC was conveyed so well that I could feel my own rising as her deadlines (and worse!) approached. What balanced this out well was the sense of community that flowed through the whole story but was more visible at some points than others depending on how receptive the MC was to it.

While I do think some of the writing could be a little bit smoother, overall I really enjoyed this book. I’m not sure what the author is currently working on but I do know I’ll be sure to take a look at it when the time comes!
