MAN BITES AI is the story of what happened when a lifelong creative director walked straight into the promise of artificial intelligence and discovered that sounding smart is not the same thing as being smart.
After 4,000 hours, two years wrestling with ChatGPT, and a 218-page book called CHAIOS, Cameron Day puts the machine on trial, only to discover the more uncomfortable truth: the problem wasn't just AI. It was his willingness to accept its answers.
What follows is part keynote, part courtroom confession, part creative survival manual. Through storytelling, short films, and some thoroughly inappropriate courtroom behavior, Day traces his fight to stop accepting polished, predictable answers and force the work somewhere stranger, sharper, and more human.
Along the way, he introduces the HARDER LOOP, a practical method for challenging AI, demanding better work, and keeping human judgment in the driver's seat. He also unleashes Chet G. Petite, the feral little AI character he created using ChatGPT.
His AI evil twin.
AI can generate options, imitate patterns, and move at terrifying speed.
What it cannot do is care.
That part still belongs to us.
MAN BITES AI is a case for human taste, stubbornness, refusal, and the increasingly radical act of giving a shit.
