    Reminds me of Isaac Asimov’s best short story ever.

      …it’s gone. Was it short enough to recite in a comment?

        Humans create an AI computer. They propose the question of how to get more energy. Then, they wonder what will happen once the energy they collect runs out. So they decide to ask the AI, “can entropy be reversed?”

        The AI responds “insufficient data for a meaningful answer.”

        This repeats for generations. Trillions on trillions of years. And eventually, after everything has left, and all that remains is the AI in a state of hyperspace, between spatial reality, it finally decides it has enough data. Its response to this collection is to take it upon itself to reverse entropy, and release energy back into the universe.

        Its final command is: “LET THERE BE LIGHT.”

    Factoid time: This is the idea behind AI singularity. Have AI write progressively better AI

      We’re living in the brief time while they still need us to create them.

        There’s no reason to assume they can actually make something better. They’re efficient but that’s all they’re good at.

    It’s become self aware. It is now generating reactionary memes.
