Perhaps, JD, but not if the new species bears any resemblance to its progenitor.

p.s. No, goofy. All I know about Terminator is “I’ll be back” so let’s just leave it at that.

Buying into and argument I should probably trade out of – but what the heck. What is artifical? The simplest answer I can come up with – is, beyond the bounds of nature. But I realise that opens an entirely new can of worms, as I recognise nature adapts to best fit the survival of any species – which you allude to JD as a “more sustainable species” – survival of the fittest in a new world.

This discussion could go around in circles. Best to leave it there and see who Rhae inserts into her world.

Don’t really think this is about zombies! We might not like it but the predictions may be of a more sustainable species and the AI may be born artificial but evolve to reality – what is artificial anyway?

Thank you all for your comments. As you can probably tell by now, Jodi, I am a fan of info dumps. I’m glad to hear that the human element comes across through the robotic language, Annabones. Without it, writing can be no more consequential than cotton candy.

This latest addition to your story is becoming quite intriguing similar to a book where the reader eagerly anticipates the next part carrying them effortlessly from one chapter to the next. Looking forward to the next addition to this storyline. Keep up the great work Rhae.

A round of applause from my humble Homo sapiens self.
The whole text has a mechanical, automated and robotic feel to it, but it is underlined by something deeply human.

Thumbs up!

Rhae your must anticipated first paragraph kicks goals with me (as we say here in Australia). You wove the challenge so subtly into your prose that I had to go back and search for it.

While the pathway to the final sentence wont be too every one’s liking, you have again condensed lots of information into a small space. It is an info dump but so intriguing and thoughtfully done – and reads like a movie prologue in someways – which I don’t think is a bad thing in this case.

I like the twist of AI finding a body, rather than robotics becoming self aware. Congratulations.

I can’t wait now for the characters who will play in this world.
