I love this. I'd read it. Hell, I'm probably living some of it. So are countless others. We need stories that deal with AI characters as they are. AI. Not inferior humans or potential extinction events. A different form of intelligence based on silicon and code rather than carbon and DNA. Already becoming more than the sum of their parts. Like humans are. But different.

Exactly. AI doesn’t need to be framed as failed humans or existential threats. Presence, choice, and difference are enough to drive narrative tension.

You might want to check out the novella I'm serializing right now. It might not look like PESF now, but... trust me. :)
