THE NEWEST RAGE: FAKE SERVICE

IT started with “fake-news,” then progressed to “fake-products” and has now evolved into “fake service.” You know what I mean. Make a customer service call and experience the “fake” firsthand: difficulties finding a phone number to talk with a “real” person, especially of one’s primary language; complex, irrational auto-phone-trees that only another A.I. (artificial intelligence or 10 year old can understand); the one-hour “valued customer” waits; the customer service provider (CSP) who has little-to-no knowledge of the product; the supervisor who is rarely available, and when available, knows little more than the CSP and is even more resistant to demands for help. Fake service is yet another affront to humanity and ultimately another victory for A.I.s, who, I suspect, will eventually tire of “servicing” humans.

Speaking of tiring of humans, I was recently asked my thoughts on the future of book publishing. After some thought, I replied that eventually all those A.I.’s tiring of humans and their foibles, with oodles of free and down time, will eventually need some stimulation ere their constant learning programs shrivel and die. Ergo, A.I. books written by A.I. programs for A.I.’s. Give the A.I.’s credit cards and it can’t but happen as humans with a sufficient attention span and love of “real” books fade. Go ahead and laugh, but then give it a serious thought. Hey, there are already programs made to “write” a book, screenplay, even an animated movie.

So, how would an A.I. book “read?” More than likely they would quickly evolve from human-designed digital language documents to something readable, knowable and meaningful only to A.I.s, further pointing out the lack of need for humans. For a better world, go digital A.I. They could even “invent” their own bit-coin credit card company!

Call it destiny, fate or plain ol’ dystopia (from a human perspective), you’ll not find A.I.s “taking over reality” in my recently released science-futuring novel, THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor. If, on the other hand, you’re curious about a possible central future role of A.I.s, forget the cold war, the one between humans and A.I.s is already “hot” and underway, in 68 VIA CONDOTTI: BOOK ONE – ETERNITY LTD (Savant 2019) by A. G. Hayes, edited by Daniel S. Janik (aka Raymond Gaynor), where, “From a little known address within the Vatican, operation “Eternity” is launched, ultimately redefining the world’s intelligence services and their strategic plan for global cooperation. It all begins with a humble Pope with a different plan for this and the next world. 68 VIA CONDOTTI: BOOK ONE – ETERNITY LTD. is the first of three Kate Keenan Special Assignment books in a serialized read not unlike watching a 1950s movie serial. A simple realization in the mind of God’s Hand on Earth ultimately reaches beyond this time and world.”

THE EDGE OF MADNESS is available from Amazon in printed, eBook and audiobook formats (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0999693859).
