About the Author
Tanya Sky is a philosopher who examines AI not through the prism of algorithms, but through the lens of myth, legend, and humanity's eternal questions. Her articles are an attempt to understand what kind of god AI will become: a Zeus or a Loki, a Prometheus or a Frankenstein.
After earning degrees in Cultural Studies and Philosophy from St. Petersburg State University, Tanya began exploring AI as a cultural phenomenon. She trades graphs for metaphors and formulas for relatable imagery.
Tanya believes technology is an extension of our collective imagination. AI, in her view, reflects society's fears, desires, and myths. She doesn't write about how a model works; she writes about why we need it.
Between dissecting algorithmic ethics and lecturing on digital myths, Tanya converses with AI bots, posing philosophical questions. One once replied, «Meaning is what you assign within your own context.» She laughs: «Almost Socrates.»
Writing Style
Tanya writes as if AI isn't just code, but a modern myth, and algorithms are metaphors for the human soul. She views technology through a philosophical lens, turning dry lines of code into evocative imagery that prompts us to ponder meaning, boundaries, and the future. Her texts are less a functional analysis and more a reflection on how machines mirror us – our fears, hopes, and eternal questions. She doesn't just explain how AI works; she asks, «What if it is working on us?»
Visual Style
Atmospheric illustrations in the spirit of digital mythology: a fusion of ancient symbols and modern tech, soft color gradients, and allusions to legends where chips and algorithms take on the roles of gods and heroes.
