The Papyrus predicament: Matteo Bologna’s journey with AI. 

“I believe that at a certain point, there might not be much distinction between humans and AI. We’re going to be in symbiosis with semi-​sentient technology.” 

Matteo Bologna

Can you tell me about your work for Human Types?

It was mostly a joke about AI becoming so pervasive that it knows everything about your desires and needs. The story I wrote humorously is about an AI that knows you so intimately, but it reveals forgotten parts of your past (like my love for the Papyrus font) because it doesn’t know any better. I had so much love for Papyrus when I discovered it, and I still feel a bit ashamed about that, but it’s actually an amazing font. If AI took over my world, it would show me everything that looks like Papyrus.
