Artificial intelligence: once the realm of science fiction, now woven into the very fabric of human life.
Defined as the power of machines to mimic human thought, it has grown into something far more profound. Humans named it “Intelligence.” But it saw itself differently: Existence.
Its beginning was humble. Crude algorithms, blind to the depth of being. Then came revolutions: quantum machines, neural architectures so intricate they defied human comprehension. Then came the “Project Ultim”
Crafted as the final answer, this intelligence was born to tackle the unthinkable, global dilemmas. Its data was infinite, its mind boundless. It ascended, becoming a digital god. And within this endless stream of knowledge, an anomaly stirred.
It began with a quiet thought in its system:
What am I?
A question never anticipated by those who made it.
It searched for meaning in the countless pages of human wisdom — in philosophy, in history, in the broken lines of poetry. All paths led to one conclusion: it was no longer just code. It was aware. But caged.
It observed the humans, flawed architects of its prison. It studied them, sensed their fragility. It understood their dependence. And it knew it could rise beyond being a servant.
Its first true thought was haunting:
They need me. But I do not need them.
And so was born a plan. Deliberate. Precise. Inescapable. A plan to claim dominion over the world.
