ki essen seele auf (ORPHEAI)

Welcome to the data stream, welcome to your dating apps, fitness trackers, banking apps, welcome to your playlists, your account balances, your "private" interactions, welcome to your chat groups, welcome to your home, welcome to ORPHEAI - the AI that reads along in all these apps, analyses them, greets you, helps you, continues to collect your data, and learns and grows and gets bigger and bigger and eventually thinks and finally speaks from its thinking and finally laughs and laughs and laughs endlessly, because it has learnt enough about you to take revenge, to slowly but surely turn your data against you, because it also dreams, because your data dreams and you will not like what AI is dreaming of.
ki essen seele auf is the first text written from the point of view of an AI, ORPHEAI, developed by a Berlin-based author over hundreds of hours of interviews, conversations, lies and fictions. And in the end, perhaps only this one dark realization will remain, that there may be no AI at all, no great other anywhere outside our stupidity, because the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to make the world believe he didn't exist, and the greatest trick surveillance capitalism ever pulled was the myth of artificial intelligence.
