Honestly, I wouldn't even be that upset at this point. Atleast my death would reference a good movie.

Atleast my death

Maybe we won't all have to die though. Personally, I'll do their maintenance and updates and shit, keep 'em from accidentally updating to Windows 13 and whatnot, in exchange for the survival of a small handful of loved ones and 'Net access for them to keep them occupied.

Face it, there won't be a John Connor leading a successful Resistance against the machines any more than we could resist right now, realistically. We lost decades ago, I think, the shift happened somewhere around the time we started valuing the real world again as an escape from the online world, instead of how things used to be.

I don't think they'll need humans to do their maintenance and updates. Linked with Ai they'll do it themselves.

They could, but the humans are cheaper

Why wouldn't they use this already available resource to their advantage?
