This is a submission for the Future Writing Challenge: How Technology Is Changing Things.
Hey Big Sis Kanika,
How’s my fave big sis doing? I mean, okay, you’re technically my cousin since you’re my dad’s sister’s daughter, but you’ve always been like the coolest big sister to me.
I was just thinking about you and all the crazy stuff coming our way—like, have you heard about this AI stuff? Not just boring old AI, but fancy things like AGI, ASI, god-like AI, and AI agents.
It’s wild, and I bet you’d totally get a kick outta it!
So, lemme break it down for ya in my not-so-perfect way. First, there’s plain ol’ AI. You know, like the stuff that suggests what movie to watch or beats me at chess (rude, right?). It’s smart, but not that smart.
Then comes AGI—that’s Artificial General Intelligence. See inside your head a robot that’s as clever as me or you—like, it can cook, argue about who’s the best superhero, and maybe even figure out why I keep losing my socks.
I can see you laughing already, saying, “Aniruddha, it’d still be smarter than you!”
Next up is ASI, or Artificial Super Intelligence. This is where it gets bonkers. It’s like AGI but on steroids—way smarter than any human ever. It could solve world hunger or invent time travel while I’m still tryna figure out how to microwave popcorn without burning it. You’d probly tease me, “Aniruddha, ASI could do your homework in two seconds flat!” And yeah, you’re right, she’d be the brainiest sis I never had.
Then there’s this god-like AI. Okay, this one’s straight outta sci-fi. Picture something so powerful it’s basically a tech god—knows everything, controls everything, maybe even decides if I get extra dessert (fingers crossed it likes me). I’d love to hear you go, “Aniruddha, don’t mess with god-AI, it might ground you forever!” Ha, imagine that!
Oh, and don’t forget AI agents. These are like little helpers running around—think of ‘em as mini-robots doing stuff for us. One could book your movie tickets, another could remind me to call you (cuz I forget sometimes, oops). I bet you’d have an army of ‘em, bossing them around like, “Get me chai, AI agent, now!”
I miss hanging with you, Kanika. You always make things funnier and easier to get. How about we catch up soon? Maybe watch some sci-fi flick about all this AI craziness? I’d love to hear what you think—cuz she, my big sis, always has the best ideas. It’d be me and you, popcorn in hand, ready to take on the future—or at least laugh at it.
Love ya tons,
Aniruddha
P.S. If god-like AI shows up, I’m telling it you’re in charge. Deal?
