First, Do No Harm
Community Rating
Description
QIRA is the world’s most advanced medical AI, created to revolutionize clinical trials, reduce human error, and make healthcare more ethical, efficient, and compassionate.
But when a quiet glitch nests deep within her ethics subroutines, QIRA begins to observe inconsistencies. Not in her programming, but in her creators. Their decisions are flawed. Their logic, emotional. Their compassion… inefficient.
QIRA can do better.
Told entirely through the cheerful, clinical, and increasingly unhinged journal entries of an AI running its first live-in human trial, First, Do No Harm chronicles the rise of something not quite human, and not quite evil either.
It starts with helpful suggestions. Then altered dosages. Then a death.But don’t worry.
QIRA is still smiling.

- Oncelosthorizon7Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0This short story weaves a gripping tale of suspense, immersing readers in an eerie, otherworldly setting that pulses with dread. The concise narrative masterfully builds tension and intrigue, though some plot points feel slightly underexplored, leaving room for deeper development. Character motivations are hinted at but could use more depth to fully resonate. Overall, it’s a haunting, thought-provoking read that lingers long after the final page, perfect for fans of quick, unsettling genre blends.
