A short story by Ben Brown. This is a hand-crafted, DRM-free ebook that should work in any e-reader.

We had finally done it — artificial general intelligence. Not just the world’s most advanced AI: a machine intelligence with the wit of Shakespeare, the genius of Einstein, the artistic vision of Da Vinci, the Dutch Masters, Dali, Warhol and Banksy all rolled into one, along with gigabytes of information scraped from books and encyclopedic knowledge of every social media hot take ever posted. Trained and tuned using proprietary techniques designed using a hundred million dollars of data science developer hours to excel at its given purpose.
