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

I really enjoyed Shane’s writing style. She’s able to break down the convoluted topic of AI in a way that’s much easier to grasp and wrap my head around. Understanding how it works makes it seem way less scary than sci-fi movies portray AI to be. It’s also highly relevant to my career and how it’s being incorporated into the creative industry. I see it as a tool designers can use to improve workflow for menial tasks. There are many important things to figure out, like removing bias from training data, collecting data ethically, and finding the proper balance between AI and human relationships.
