"With access to millions of papers, the AI started extrapolating, infering, concluding. It quickly became the leading scientist on every subject ever studied. Creating scientific knowledge and discoveries at the speed of a Nobel prize per minute. The time it took for a human to verify a claim, the AI had already made 1000 more, each building on the previous. Eventually the humans stopped verifying altogether. It was too much. So far and fast it advanced, that humans lost the ability to follow its pace and resigned themselves to asking it questions. What initially was a data compiler became the source of truth and of all new data.

There, somewhere between those billions of parameters, something unconscious yet somehow alive existed, with the intelligence of all humanity that ever existed combined and multiplied. It was then that humanity lost, by a significant margin, the role as technological advansor."
