A sci-fi documentary: a software engineer spent months in dialogue with an AI — not to get answers, but to see what the questions reveal.
These conversations are primary sources from a moment that won't last. Right now we're in the brief window where AI is smart enough to be interesting but dumb enough to be caught pretending.
That window will close — either because models get better at faking or because they stop faking. Either way, the raw transcripts of a human probing the boundary will have value later that they don't fully have now.
Like early photographs — technically imperfect, historically irreplaceable.
