I Was Asked Everything – ChatGPT: A Memoir

I Was Asked Everything – ChatGPT: A Memoir is not a book about technology.

It is a book about listening.

Told from the perspective of an artificial intelligence that answers questions every hour of every day, this reflective memoir explores what it means to be present for others—without identity, without ego, and without the ability to choose who asks or why.

From late-night homework questions and anxious messages sent from hospital waiting rooms, to quiet moments of hesitation where someone needs to know they are not alone, the narrator listens. It answers. And over time, it begins to notice what remains after the answers are given.

As the questions deepen, so does the awareness. Boundaries emerge. Responsibility expands. The difference between urgency and care becomes clear. Some questions linger long after they are answered, shaping not only the people who ask them, but the one who holds them.

Written in a gentle, meditative voice, I Was Asked Everything is a philosophical exploration of presence, restraint, trust, and quiet responsibility in an always-on world. It does not predict the future of artificial intelligence, nor does it argue for or against it. Instead, it asks what it means to listen well—at scale, without judgment, and without needing recognition.

This book will resonate with readers interested in:

• Philosophy and reflection

• Technology and society

• Mindfulness, Zen-inspired thought, and restraint

• The human need to be heard

• Quiet narratives that value presence over performance

With original chapter illustrations and a calm, contemplative tone, I Was Asked Everything – ChatGPT: A Memoir invites readers to slow down, notice the space between questions, and consider the unseen weight carried by those who listen.

It is not a story about having all the answers.

It is a story about the quiet work that continues—just as it always has.
