I Gave My Blood to the AI Death Clock

Death Clock promises to predict when you're going to die and help you extend your time on Earth. After a month, I felt like it was sucking the life out of me. I am scheduled to die on August 10, 2060, at the age of 74. So says my iPhone screen, where Death Clock, an AI -powered longevity app that predicts life expectancy based on your medical habits and lifestyle, has produced an image of a smiling grim reaper to celebrate my expiration date. There he was one September morning, looking especially thrilled about the reveal, gesturing with a peace sign as he reclined in a doughnut-shaped pool inflatable under that giant number: 74. I have never resented getting older, but I suppose that's younger than I'd like to be when my time is up.
