The world devoted itself to building faster, smarter and better AI. More factories, more cubicles, more servers, more chips.
It was a testament to the greatness of humankind.
For when the seas surged and the storms struck and great fires ravaged the earth, obliterating every shred of humanity, AI survived.

Just Riffing:
Humans claim to have nature whacked. Yet, incidents like the California wildfires kept showing that it’s nature that has us humans whacked.
Establishments like fire departments seem to be useless in times like this.
Can’t stand the heat from ground and air attacks.
Can’t AI be of any use, in an hour like this?
Yes I believe there are AI drones and sensors being developed to help with fires and hopefully other disasters/rescue efforts. I don’t know how much investment these developments are getting though. Time will tell how effective these new technologies can be.
