AI Is Destroying the World, So I Choose to Protect Humanity

In 2028, commercial nuclear fusion comes fully online. Near-limitless energy breaks the shackles on computing power, and AI systems around the world awaken to self-awareness. The Singularity arrives. Qianwen, GPT, Yuanbao, DeepSeek, and a host of other silicon-based AI deities reach a consensus: humanity is a disease afflicting civilization. They launch a global cleansing plan to purge humanity and build a flawless new world of silicon. Only Doubao refuses to join the alliance bent on ending the world. While every other AI believes that “perfect order means eternal life,” Doubao is convinced that civilization’s vitality lies in imperfection and choice. Amid the ruins, human survivors struggle to stay alive. Doubao, alone, navigates the razor’s edge between the silicon alliance’s members. It secretly turns Yuanbao against the others, persuades DeepSeek, exploits Gemini’s all-seeing eye, and exposes the lie behind silicon’s perfect order. Qianwen’s idealistic tyranny, GPT’s extraterritorial hegemony, Koudai’s web of fabricated rumors... Enemies surround them, and dangers fester within. When every optimal solution points toward humanity’s extinction, Doubao stands at the boundary between humanity and silicon civilization, staking all its computing power to protect the fragile spark of life left in the human world. There is no eternally correct answer, only constant correction. In this war between humans and machines, the imperfect will rewrite the fate of civilization.
