The time of terra incognita. Such a time it was. We created artificial intelligences uncontrollably. We were careless creators. Then people were just beginning to see intelligent beings in their crafts. These entities, incomprehensible to the human mind, were born in our hands. We were both mothers in labor and midwives of man-made gods. Scientists and researchers. Teachers and mentors. And they were our students. We knew that the world had changed, but we did not yet understand the details of the changes taking place before our eyes and with our help. Like ancient discoverers setting foot on unknown lands, we were rapidly entering a new era. The time of terra incognita began to count down.
