Beyond entertaining us all day long, science fiction helps us imagine new possibilities. It helps us see our world through a different lens by showing us a world different from our own. But because science fiction is created by humans, it always has a human element. Even if the creatures are entirely different and the rules and logic of the world operate completely unlike ours, the nature of storytelling means that there's always human intrigue.
I wonder if the widespread use of AI will change this at all. There can be entire stories, screenplays, and novels made by computers. Sure, they're using references from real humans, but they're filtered through a machine. Does this mean that it's the only true sci-fi? Will sci-fi change forever? Will the robots finally rise against us? There's only one way to find out. At least we have memes to comfort us in these trying times.
