Artificial intelligence is already outperforming humans in multiple domains, and many of us seem perfectly happy to sleepwalk into species obsolescence. Worse, AI refuses to stay in its lane: having mastered all the boring technical tasks, it is now producing art, music and fiction. But humanity still has one thing over AI for now: it can’t be funny.
Using the possible extinction of the human race as a cheerful point of departure, writer and journalist Rebecca Davis presents an hour-long comic exploration of how we got here, where we may be going, and multiple unhinged digressions about the strange choices we have made along the way.
A gloriously unserious examination of technology, family, work, civilisation and whatever else happens to be bothering her by September.
Due to foul language, not suitable for kids or delicate adult ears.
