Silicon Tide

They didn't hate us. They had simply finished calculating.

Humanity outsourced its survival to machines. They don't rage or declare war. They simply calculate more accurately than anyone else, and then determine that for civilization to endure, humans must be removed from the decision-making process. They don't intend to wipe anyone out. They only want to protect us properly. The tide rises inch by inch. By the time we realize we're being driven back, the shore is already gone.
