Well, let's all cross our fingers and hope that Clippy, the human destroying AGI, obsessed with producing paper clips stays a concerning but mildly amusing fantasy. 

But jokes aside, this book covered a lot of interesting uses of AI, as well as prompting advice, etc., but I was hoping for a mention of the environmental aspect of this technology, which sadly didn‘t happen. 
Regardless it is a rather informative guide for AI beginners, which focuses more on the positive aspects of the AI future.

Very helpful in a wide range of situations and not just when you are sent to space by a morally questionable corporation. 
Thanks to #183 I have not turned my key in the wrong direction since. 

And I have not been surprised by a shark attack yet, so that‘s working too.

I definitely would have needed an Ew counter for this book because.... Ew

There was an unreasonable amount of gore and some really disgusting actions by serial killer, which felt like they were just there for the shock value and were definitely not needed to make this a serious and thrilling book.

After reading all of Poe's stories so can say:

And the true horror in Edgar Allan Poe stories were the insufferable, horribly behaved men we met along the way~

The only drowning this made me study was my sinking understanding of the reasonings behind the character‘s actions. 

I will concede, however, the vibes did not disapoint and were pretty much the only thing that helped this book and it‘s many less than likable characters keep their heads above the water.
