I used AI to create the Human - Zyrran contact but kept the text unpublished. Its a good summary of the human condition in a world which has gone absolutely mad. The point is to what extent you use AI which determines when it has become bullshit in your life. The next step is to paraphrase everything and make the character ark uniquely your´s.
