You Look Like a Thing and I Love You: How Artificial Intelligence Works and Why It's Making the World a Weirder Place by Janelle Shane

What an enjoyable listen. I also peaked at the Kindle version for some of the doodles I was missing out on. The author explains AI in an incredibly approachable way, where even someone with minimal knowledge on the topic, I was able to follow. She also mixed in just the right amount of humor to keep you focused on the story.
I did get a bit repetitive, and listening to the entire read outs from the AI felt like it was dragging on. Also the narration of the AI parts was painful to listen to.
Final note, it's interesting that this was written in 2019 and in the four years we've made leaps and bounds with AI that I don't think the author thought we'd see in our lifetime while writing this.
