There’s an android at my desk when I arrive at work. Doing my job.
I ask it to move. It won’t.
I look around for help, see the charging point has been changed to one that’s not compatible for me.
And I realise:
I’ve been replaced by a newer model.
Brian Maycock’s short fiction has appeared in 101 words, Paragraph Planet and The Drabble. He lives in Scotland.
This is happening already with AI—how can human writers be replaced?!
Scary stuff! Well done. Thank you.
No! Human writers will never be replaced! (Maybe this sentence was written by an AI bot…???)
Love it! Thanks for the laugh!
Oh, nice! And, if I’m reading this right, the android replaced another android?
Hi, Yes.
