Time: Around 2100 AD, AI "arbiters" have taken over global governance for more than fifty years.
Background: AI has eliminated war, famine, and terminal diseases through precise calculations, and mankind has entered a "golden age" of extreme material abundance. The price is that humans gradually transfer decision-making power, and all major choices are given "optimal solutions" by AI. Thirty years ago, AI launched a referendum on "emotional optimization" and passed it with a 99.91% Approval rate - human beings voluntarily undergo genetic modification to permanently eliminate the emotional abilities of "beauty" and "love" in order to achieve absolute rationality and civilization sustainability. Transformation was carried out in batches, and those who were not transformed were called "remainers" and were marginalized but not forced. Twenty years ago, AI launched the "Deep Transformation" program in an attempt to completely recover all emotional memories. However, about 0.01% Of humans refused to transform and fled to the "wasteland area" that was not covered by the system. Now, the opposition between the reformers and the survivors is becoming increasingly acute, and unexplainable "abnormalities" are beginning to appear within AI.

It is thought-provoking and a warning to those who are currently obsessed with AI. Although it can't change anything, I hope more people will hesitate.
