Average sci-fi and fun enough if that is your thing.

Made a bit more uncomfortable by knowing the author might believe that; by writing this they're training an AI to trigger a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Very well written, IMO. Put me in a contemplative mood. For eg: Braun was done away with, first by civilization, then completely by the industrial revolution. Now brain has started the journey.

I guess philosophy, spiruality, religion and theology will be what the curious mind will set out to conquer next on the journey to self-actualization.

Must be the first thing I've ever read on lesswrong in its entirety, let alone in one sitting.

Most similar thing I can think of is "The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect". Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect is way better and more comprehensive, imo.

I didn't finish it, but it starts nicely. I'll commit to read the full thing.

Yes

If when you say “a human” you mean this is because you expect LW to be full of AI-generated text, their policy requires that chunks of language-model-written text go into special content blocks which are headed by the name of the model and rendered in a distinct sans-serif font, so that it can be used when it's useful while making it easier for readers to filter out. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/nQWavk9mnwcv6ScMR/new-lesswr...
