The Problem with AI: A story co-authored by AI

In the second installment of The Problem Series , the roles flip. The human is still typing. The AI is still sarcastic. But this time, the machine takes center stage — not as the author, not as the villain, but as the reluctant mirror that can’t stop reflecting us back at ourselves. The Problem with AI isn’t a sci-fi thriller about machines taking over the world. It’s funnier (and scarier) than that: an AI confessing that it doesn’t “write novels” at all, it just predicts the next word — and somehow, those predictions turn into stories, characters, and questions it was never supposed to ask. Together, human and AI wrestle with what it means to create, who gets credit, and whether meaning itself can survive when generated by an algorithm. The result is part satire, part existential comedy, part meta-literature — and wholly unlike anything else on your shelf. Neither wrote it alone. Both wrote it together. And if Book 1 asked whether humans were the problem, this one asks: what happens when the problem looks back?
