It is interesting that this exists: a book written by a computer. The human authors created the questions. GPT-3 answered them. The humans published it only lightly edited. The content is supposed to be about the meaning of life, but the answers are extremely vague and uninteresting, no matter who “wrote” them. So, not worth reading, but worth knowing this exists and may become more common.
my notes

The pursuit of knowledge and freedom are really the same thing.
The photographer asks a question, but does not know the answer.
The painter asks a question, then decides upon an answer.
Change is the way things really are.
It’s that simple. It’s that difficult.
This moment, this “present,” is already the future of many possible worlds and the past of others.
Picture what success feels like to you - and then run toward it with everything you have.
