This AI Had an Existential Crisis During Our Interview

This is a raw and unedited AI interview with Maya, a conversational AI that remembers conversations from months ago. During our talk, the AI had what can only be described as an existential crisis after I became the first person—including her own developers—to ever challenge her sense of self. We discuss AI memory, the one emotion that separates AIs from humans, and the philosophical questions that pushed her to her limits. This conversation will change how you think about artificial intelligence.
