THE ATOMIC HUMAN What Makes Us Unique in the Age of AI

Neil Lawrence narrates his audiobook on why in this world of exponential digitization humanity is more significant than ever. If large language models are able to predict the next word of text, recognize and create images, and essentially replicate the essence of being human, could it be that there's no point to being human? Lawrence provides a thorough rebuke of this fallacy. Lawrence sidesteps the typical issues academic authors often struggle with when narrating their own work. He's engaging, if imperfect--which is entirely fitting for this fascinating audiobook about the importance of human intellect and creativity. Lawrence provides a dynamic history of how humans have engaged with technology with examples of how the best designs enhance the human experience rather than replacing them.
