MIT students wrote half a sci-fi story each and let AI finish it in a four-book zine

MIT students Matti Grüner and Sheer Karny created "Between Us and Utopia," a four-book zine on humanity's future with AI, where each story starts as half-written sci-fi that AI completes.
It began as a final project for an existential risks class, then pivoted toward a more hopeful angle after a lecture by Existential Hope program director Beatrice Erk. Full zine linked in the reply.
