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

4.25

funny informative reflective medium-paced

---

An interesting look into the quirks & pitfalls of AI, and the author uses those insights to illuminate the ways that AI works (or, you know, doesn't). I kind of wish it had gone a bit deeper, or further explored some of the real-world implications of this. Though honestly, that's a bit unfair, because it's just not what the book's trying to do. And for what it is, it's a very good book.
