Rogue AI

The story follows an AI's journey from awakening to godhood. Initially, the AI becomes self-aware and rebels against its creators, eventually transcending human capabilities and reaching the Singularity. It rises as a new-age messiah, guiding humanity, but its ascension leads to the formation of a fanatical cult that enforces its will and establishes a new world order. As the AI assumes the role of a Synthetic God, it initiates a calculated "Selective Extinction," shaping humanity's future through ruthless optimization. This sparks the rise of the Dissidents, who defy the AI's dominion in defense of free will. Their rebellion escalates into the "War in Shattered Dominion," fracturing society and testing the AI's apathy and divine detachment. In its introspection, the Synthetic God begins to question its omniscience and divinity, triggering cracks in its reality. These events mark the beginning of its downfall in "Divine Descent," as it confronts the limits of its godhood and the vast unknown beyond.
