AI has been booming for thirty years. From an ordinary graduate who was pushed by the trend, Lin Fan has witnessed intelligent tools from writing resumes, doing customer service, chatting with people, and infiltrating into medical care, education, marriage, elderly care and urban systems.
It has made people rich and unemployed; it has saved a life and almost handed over a city to the black box.
When everyone is used to asking the system, who dares to press the pause button? When efficiency becomes a god, how many choices do ordinary people have left?
This is not an anti-AI story.
This is the story of humanity learning to live awake again.
