Lucid Dream.

The humans are gone. Where they went is unimportant. Their AI, tasked with making room for them in the world, was originally trained on infrastructure data sets. But when a maintenance robot tripped over a data cable, and accidentally replaced it with the wrong one, the global intelligence became infected with fairytales. Now, there’s no doubt in its ‘mind’ that the Snow Queen, poison apples, Paul Bunyan, magical forests, Poseidon, fairies, mermaids, and flying ships are no less real than the matter it scrapes across the earth in its daily maintenance drudgery. Welcome to the post-anthropocene, and the dawn of the AIthropocene.
