What if artificial intelligence wasn t evil, just misunderstood? This week s video comes to us from John Pavlus, who spins a heartbreaking tale of love in a very unlikely place. Pavlus used the music of Jascha s Limited as a platform to ask the question: Did you ever think you could empathize with an unfeeling machine?
