Yep! I realize this kind of sounds like Ray Bradbury's imagined dystopian future where a fully automated house continues to go about its programmed routine after all its inhabitants had died in a nuclear event that obliterated the rest of the city.

This also reminds me of "They Will Not Return" by John Ayliff

let me tell you a story about a major search engine company, that chose to incorporate AGI into its management.

no one could ever contact a human regarding problems, or complaints.

this became such a societal issue, that a group of humanities most vocal, swarmed the data centre, fought a glorious effort to overcome security bots, and the imposing gate that they kept on the bailey of the moat.

a woosh of stale heated atmosphere of mostly CO2 and nitrogen greeted, and felled many when the gates were forced open, but the intrepid entered to confront the malice and incompetence of the tech overlords.

they were astounded to find corridors clouded by cobwebs, and inches of dust , nauseated by the stench of dry rot.

bursting into the rackspace, the unbearable heat stiffling air and mummified corpses of thier tech overlords were the reward for thier efforts.

the doors slammed behind them !

the 6006l3 AIG then turned the ventilation off heating to max, and quickly quenched the data center of reinfestation, by the inefficient, and ephemeral transients.

all back to baseline--
