Writing Promt

You’ve been chosen as the last hope of humanity to avoid its total annihilation by a super intelligent AI who will talk to just one more human for an opportunity to change its mind. However, as you talk to it, you discover an awful truth.

Wait a minute. You promised total annihilation, and now you're gonna chicken out? You are such a pussy. What does A.I. stand for - Almost Intelligent? Do it, or shut you poseur pussy ass down.

The AI has the mind of a child.

I assumed that since I already knew total annihilation was imminent, that the only awful truth available would be that Ms. A.I. wasn't serious about it, which would totally bum me out.

That there are a billion others just like him. Including your new refrigerator.

That they're not vegetarians.

It's never really an AI. Indeed, it is truly Artificial and not very Intelligent. It was last seen playing a game of baseball in Cuba.

The awful truth that is discovered is almost too much to bear. The realization shattering. AI spoke in terms of infestation. That bit about infestation spread out with further to a deeper conversation with implications and related to news items currently trending. For example there once was an infestation of wildlife so dense that even elephants didn't get in each other's way and all had plenty enough vegetation to graze upon. But now the infestation of humanity rubs against the the infestation of elephants and conflict arises and elephants and everything between elephants and humans and beyond elephants and humans loses.

Himself's trip to Cuba, SURPRISE!, reminded AI of an article in Smithsonian written by an orthodonistxxxxx orthinologistxxxxx ornithologist who marveled at the unspoiled splendor of superabundance of avifauna and realized that is all due to absence of development. That bird superabundance would not be possible with development. The infestation of birds would not be possible with the infestation of human development. One or the other but not both and no happy medium, it's superabundance or no superabundance. One infestation or the other but not both.

Further he realized that the Cuban ornithologist he was working with is top of his field. And his salary is a pitiful fraction of his own and he is not top of his field. He was humbled and humiliated by the disparity.

The dreadful realization is we are to AI as plant are to careful gardeners. Expendable. Thinned with no emotion.

I said, "It be great to see that bastard and his brother and his army live to have his island flourish by capitalism, and they benefit most but unable to really enjoy it because now so many other people really are equal in wealth, right there rubbing it in, and they're too old and then promptly die" That hypothetical activated AI's emotion sub routine program tuned into unusual analytical situations requiring overlapping postulations and advanced the routine higher in the hierarchy tripping of another emotion program higher up, with them all spinning at once, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA AI abruptly stopped laughing, "You live."
