书籍简介

Global science fiction writers gather to put our anxieties and hopes about all of this into one book – "AI Master".
It's not about AI, it's about "AI creation."
Not about the future, but about the present.
Nearly 20 new works from authors in China, the US, UK, Russia, Japan, Africa, Eastern Europe, South Asia, South America, and other regions.
Including renowned science fiction writers Ken Liu and Adrian Tchaikovsky.
Multiple Nebula and Hugo Award winners,
Their backgrounds include architects, engineers, actors, psychiatrists, screenwriters, translators, photographers, and teachers.
Also playwrights for "Star Trek," "Firefly," "Game of Thrones," and "Foundation."

They gathered to discuss one question: What is the essence of creation?
Delving deeply into literary, painting, sculpture, and theatrical creation, asking a fundamental question:
Ken Liu's "Good Stories" company: by changing one word every 50 words, you can transform machine-generated text into "artificially forged" work, apply for copyright, and earn money. Oston Habershaw's "Laughter Machine": a nuclear-powered stand-up AI precisely detonates laughter 2.68 times per minute, but destroys the life of a real comedian.
A "Prompt Theatre" suddenly awakens, stripping away atmosphere, lighting, and embellishment, letting the play move the audience on its own. An algorithm fed by "stories" "directs" one "tragedy" after another in the human world, giving everyone the chance to become the protagonist of a grand epic.
Recommendations and Reviews
"This insightful and vibrant vision of a digital future will make readers eager to return to reality." — Publishers Weekly

"The common thread among these stories is their deep engagement with generative AI, though some intentionally hide the technical element, subtly weaving it in rather than placing it at the forefront of the narrative." — Amazon US reader
Excerpts
"Freedom exists within the book."
"Humans must be responsible for their own creations; self-expression cannot come at the expense of others."
"It screamed: I am the original. I created myself. I created myself."
"Help... me. I want to see the show again... I want to understand."
"In their attempt to create a masterpiece, they didn't realize that life itself is an art — that reckless, contradictory, unparalleled life. Even if you are an AI, nothing can stop you from trying it."
