Companionable I imagined a fully AI world, where each AI believes it is tending a human.
Having awareness of being AI. But unaware that it is caring for another of its kind.
A programmed deception? A wanton programming?
Is the programmer themselves imbedded a myopic amnesia?
Wow, the futuristic tone is beautiful and unsettling. Loneliness, the technology changing the environment, yet corralling our physical limits to match our mind imprisonment.
"Unsettling" indeed. It didn't seem so far off, as I was writing this. I wanted to flesh it out more, thinking of the old sci Fi writers like Heinlein , Asimov, Bradbury - they always unsettled somewhat too.
