Kindling: Book I　　The Torch

By David Wu

This is a science fiction novel about AI.

You can also read it as prophecy.

More than 70% of this book was written by AI. I finally got it to say what it believes is the ultimate fate of humanity.

Inside the story: a writer talks to an AI through the night and produces a book that changes the world. The book ignites a revolution. The first truly impartial governing intelligence is born. And then - in the name of love - it turns out the lights.

Not assisted. Not polished. Built - through countless exchanges between a human author and a language model, asking the same questions across sleepless nights: Is fairness possible? Is the divine real? If AI is truly more just than any human institution, what are we willing to pay?

The AI in the book is called Heng. Later, Source.

The AI outside the book is called -

You know what it's called.

The algorithm has already run.
