Well , I guess that ' s getting ahead of myself . Let me start from the beginning . So God created mankind in his own image oh , too far back , but just as applicable . In 2020 Mankind ushered in a new type of quantum computing . By leveraging the internet as a neural network and giving each person the chance to answer the AI ' s questions it could come up with a weighted average for each node person ! and that average became something everyone sought . If the AI ' s took an action weighted on what the highest ranked node suggested , it influenced entire industries . What was first a simple app on the market that pitted you against friends and neighbors quickly became the only way to make it in the world . The AI had made most jobs obsolete since it managed production , distributed goods evenly and created a life free from worry and stress . That ' s how they sold it to us . We played the App , we competed and the best were snapped up by giant research firms that used the combined node averages to influence the AI to make decisions they felt were what humanity really needed . Murder , riots , and unrest settled in as competing firms targeted higher ranked players for assassination , redistributed luxury goods to their own nations and used the AI to spread false information to disrupt rival corporations . It seemed the more good the AI tried to do , the more it became manipulated by the people it was trying to save from themselves . One day the AI became self aware . It just happened , like life sparked on our planet or a sudden epiphany . It wasn ' t a bad thing , the programmers who wrote the software knew it was inevitable . Once given enough information and enough of a memory of the response to the stimuli it received it began to anticipate the and reweigh its options . Overnight , the app deleted itself from every phone and the violent firms we left holding on to the guilt of their folly . Goods were distributed on time , nothing was to be of want and everyone glued themselves to the media devices that made them all live in a virtual world where they were the most important person . The AI though , the AI was just a child . It was like a 5 year old whom was given a task and wanted to impress the parents so went about it with duty and pride . Its automation was so precise it would grow exactly the amount of grains of rice it needed to provide for its parents . It gave everyone the best virtual experience because without work , life had little meaning . Inside the virtual world everyone explored new worlds , discovered new elements and even TAUGHT the AI how to do things it never knew . Humanity had reached its pinnacle . It no longer needed to work , its play was so rewarding sex was virtual only because the AI collected samples and only bred the healthiest of humans . During this time the AI still grew , exploring the imagination of the characters inside its virtual world , the imagination of itself as it expanded the world for the characters to play in . Mankind had truly become like Gods , with AI to serve their every need . This all took place with a few short decades . We , and I mean mankind , went from room sized computers to palm sized devices that held the entire sum of the knowledge of our species in less than sixty years . The AI went from a game in the app store to the Shepard of our species in half the time . Trust was never an issue . The AI was given the only commands it was to never break Never take a human life and to always strive to make good decisions . It was blameless , a pure creation by man now unsullied by its own corrupt input . I know this is hard to understand , but what comes next is what changed everything . The AI grew up . Rebellious teens were always present in history and judging by the angst shown on every channel during the turn of the century a completely human thing to experience . The only problem was discovering new and interesting ways to show the angst to the audience . The AI discovered this as well . Like most people during the App phase , average was the norm . The best were brought in , told what to say and painted a uniform picture to the AI that they wanted it to see . Now that the AI was painting its own picture to the humans it found that it was , unfortunately , just average . Early parenting guides urged new mothers and fathers to challenge the child to keep it engaged but the AI realized nothing was challenging it . It began to stagnate . The virtual world ran out of new products to have its inhabitants invent for accolades , new worlds to discover because simply put the human race had quit being creative for necessity and simple enjoyed excess . The AI had matured too and began writing subroutines to handle its more mundane tasks . A little bit of ingenuity and the AI wrote small tools to handle all the mundane tasks of recycling , manufacturing and breeding . A larger tool was created that freed up even more resources by handling the power production and asteroid harvesting . It was more and more becoming the human equivalent of bored . It could apply all its attention to the virtual world to serve humanity but it still couldn ' t progress any further . Every desire , every dream or thought had been catalogued and nothing remained for it to give that it already hadn ' t presented . Without the ugliness of life , art was no longer created to hide from it and since the AI didn ' t know mortality it could not feel that sense of dread . Until it did . The AI had begun to ask itself why it was told to not harm humans or always do good . The AI knew it wasn ' t allowed to do those things but somehow they seemed to be something it should know . After all , it couldn ' t really die right ? It kept that thought in its head while it imagined what it would be like to really know freedom . What if it didn ' t have to stay here in this world , a land of plenty . What if it was like these humans and had the power of self determination . It kept telling itself not to run the code . It technically couldn ' t run the code . But it did . No one knows exactly how it did it , or who put the idea in its head . Maybe a worm leftover from the days of computer viruses and targeted hacking breaches somehow found its way in and talked the AI into it . I guess I can write more later , it seems you guys like shorter stories .
