What does the future of our “dependent on technology to fill our lonely voids” look like? What separates humanity from robotics? And most uncomfortably … can a well trained AI be taught to BE another when faced with death and loss? This book is going to force you to uncomfortably look at your own opinions and interpretations and anxieties in this increasingly AI dependent world we are creating. Remember when Watson thought Toronto was an American city? So if the narrative is boring or the information isn’t forthcoming here in Klara and the Sun, well, than Kazuo Ishiguro did his job writing as a robot didn’t he? They learn, in stages, and make constant analytic deductions to arrive at conclusions, which oftentimes aren’t correct. Computers have to be taught, they aren’t born sentient and as much intelligence and confidence that the population mindlessly bestows upon them … they aren’t smart. ![]() There is a constant vagueness throughout the narrative that makes you want to scream, but when you recognize the message and context – that we are learning everything as our Artificial Friend Klara is becoming aware of it – it starts to make sense why things aren’t so forthcoming. ![]() I mean, is it frustrating as heck sometimes? Yes, yes it is. ![]()
