Inhaltsangabe

AI is turning into a real no-brainer.

It’s 2049 and college students Miles Cooper and Halle Hernandez just landed internships with The Department of SAILE, or Support for Artificial Intelligence in Law Enforcement, when the unthinkable happens. For the first time since AI has become self-aware (albeit coded to prioritize logic over emotional decision making), a fatal car crash involving a developer of the world’s first artificial neural network (ANN) is leading members of SAILE to believe that AI has thrown logic completely out the window.

Soon, the programming error responsible for the demise of a Descartes Labs employee begins turning every AI-powered system in the city of Jacksonville into one big (and highly emotional) basket case. Robotic pilots diverting commercial flights to Orlando just to see theme parks. Android waiters assaulting rude customers with faces full of pie. Personal Service Robots (PSRs) arguing with their owners over who they love more, them or the fridge. Smart cars doing dumb things. Androids on strike. Cybernetic chaos ensues.

Now, it’s up to Miles, Halle, Captain Bernard McArthur (SAILE’s fearless leader), his PSR Rocky (an android programmed to sound like the famous fictional boxer) and a dynamic cast of white-hat hackers and teenage sleuths to stop the spread of AI-gone-astray before the world gets any dumber.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book was an absolute delight! I had so much fun with the story and couldn't resist reading it aloud to my daughter. We both shared countless laughs throughout, making it a memorable and enjoyable experience for us both!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely one of the BEST SciFi books I have read! This is both an adventure/drama AND a Love story all rolled into one. It's got funny moments, emotional moments, tense dramatic moments, and tender moments. If you enjoy well written stories with all of the above, take it from this old man, THIS is the next one you should read!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was a fun read that was super funny and enjoyable. If you like sci fi and want a great story you should definitely check this one out.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast-paced, full of twists, Artificial Incompetence keeps its lighthearted tone while raising some serious questions, in a refreshing departure from the often grim depictions of AI gone wrong. The blend of teenage angst, over-the-top AI chaos, and the simple and understandable explanations of the programming mistakes and fixes work together to give the reader a lot of fun. It may be a young adult story, but I’m well into my seventh decade, and I enjoyed it immensely.
