Having gone to the trouble of reading said first chapter ... wut. It&#x27;s the &quot;AI sees a human do something that can be interpreted as callous, starts thinking, decides maybe this is going to be a problem&quot; trope (and, actually, as a firmly pro-choice person I find that the human action in question being one I wouldn&#x27;t condemn actually <i>adds</i> to the horror inherent to the trope).<p>The ranty and bitter tone of the author does him no favours, certainly, but taking him off the publication list before contacting him, and for something so (to my mind) frankly silly, quite understandably would feel like enough of a kick in the teeth that irrational anger is pretty understandable.
