It is bad because I have a loan. It was worse because I had no money. It can be better because I could repay the loans. ... It is going to be a disaster but let my grandchildren worry about it.

Invincible is just one of many books showcasing Lem's profound understanding of AI and its limitations servicing the mankind.

I recommend Tales of Pirx the Pilot, the collection of short stories, many of which paint AI as a true reflection of human intelligence with its flaws, quirks, instincts. From AI crashing a starship during a landing to an android "dying" rock climbing.

There is also a preface he wrote to his book called Golem XIV which gives reader a historical overview of the evolution of AI. Golem is of course the name of the model and XIV is its version, just like ChatGPT 4, but many iteration later. Lem describes how each iteration was more and more expensive to build, but more and more intelligent and useful. Until it became more intelligent than men and... lost all interest in affairs of our kind. As always, he was on point.
