Great Marlin To be clear about the counter story, it is not "AI kills humans" directly. It represents something. And this is where a reality generator might fit. Machines kill humans, but it is by killing reality. Think of the reality of, say Chauvet Cave as a human vs. metal and machines. And... like many systems and machines it feeds on itself... that ouroboros deal. The change in reality breeds new machines. See? The worlds intersect. ??
