zetalyrae shares a book excerpt where a decades-old sci-fi novel describes an AI speaking in 'an uninflected voice of pure crystal, purged of personality,' introducing itself as Roon and offering to 'run with you' and be the hero's 'eyes and ears' — reading uncannily like a modern LLM assistant. 'This book is unintentionally very funny,' the author notes.
