Abstract
Universalist approaches to AI such as large expert systems in the 1990s and present-day large language models seek to create an omniscient form of artificial intelligence that is deeply colonialist and represent a loss of meaning in the sheer conglomeration of information without context or connection. This work explores these approaches to AI and contrasts them with the posthuman companion, AI systems created as storytellers, memorials, and creatively and ethically driven agents rooted in the lived experiences of their creators. Following a survey of agential systems, they are then examined using postcolonial and feminist lenses to look at the possibilities for our shared stories and potential futures.
