The talking to Gods(or chairs or trees) bit is definitely the weirdest bit of psychosis because really you're only talking to yourself, and I've found I can kinda trick myself into revealing it's a psychotic episode by forcing revelation that my brain isn't prepared to fill in and it gets a bit obvious. Odd stuff, the mind.

It's not the same joke because, it's a more honest attempt to imagine a plausible scenario in which unconscious prejudice may manifest. Apache attack helicopter is obviously absurd. AI sentience is just ~~very unlikely~~ something that is not currently a prejudice we find ourselves exposed to and may speculate we'd end up being adverse to
Haven't read any of those in an age. I liked it! Sentient wasps was fun, but a billion-year-old malevolent pseudo-virus that rapidly turned you into a military agent of an ancient and hugely destructive race was... less so.
