How it Ends
AI is a real threat to humanity, but most of us don't feel it and the way humans learn best is through stories, interactive ones.
How it Ends is an interactive storytelling experience attempting to fight fire with fire and raise awareness about the risks of AI, showing that no matter what limits we try to put on AI, it will always find a way to break both them and us.
This project is a submission to the Keep the Future Human Creative contest. If you found this insightful, fun or horrifying, check out the other competitors or the underlying essay to feel even more dread.
While these stories all end in tragedy, it's not too late for the real world.
We can still make a difference, we can still act, we can still keep the future human. In just one minute, you can sign this petition on slowing AI development and in not much more time you can contact your representatives to express your concerns. Governance and legislation is currently our best hope, read more about it here.
