The interface between tech and humanity interests me greatly, perhaps there's something good here? Turns out not.

> But morality has no resonance unless the art rings true

This is literally beyond interpretation 'morality'..'resonance' - what? As for art ringing true, that's just emotive words.

> For AI to be fully realized, like fictional characters, they need a rich backstory

Absolutely no backup is given of this claim.

> Similar to a birth story for a human or fictional character, AI needs a strong origin story

Ditto.

So I stopped there. Pretty sure the writer has minimal tech creds, and indeed at the bottom "Mariana Lin is a writer and poet living in Northern California. She speaks regularly at Stanford University on creative writing for artificially intelligent beings"
