Fascinating. An AI-engineer is called in to find out why some military AI's have been having problems. Very nicely done, though the ending seemed a trifle abrupt.

Too short to really grab me, if this was expanded further I think I would have enjoyed it.

I've read one of Lee's books before, and was most impressed with all the creative ideas behind his worldbuilding. That was also the case for this short story. The idea of exploring body dysphoria through AI is something that's really interesting, definitely a concept I'd be interested to see explored further in a longer format.
