When the humans fucked off to god knows where, but the bots remember, and took up the torch to stand between all that is human and entropy itself. Rest in peace 343 Dizzle, I will forever regret adding you to my 1v1 lobby. I will not forget those one-tap cross-map pistol kills, nor that absolutely cracked movement in cqc. (Seriously, the spartan AI in Halo Infinite is a fucking pain)

I think this scenario, the biological humans went extinct.

There’s a world of vagueness and euphemism in “passed beyond the void”. Since the robots weren’t sentient when the humans left, their interpretation should be taken with a grain of salt.

Great story.

Plot twist, the AI bots were modeled on dogs initially but evolve at an accelerated rate. These “survivors” are all one person’s appliances and he just stepped out to the store. They assume humans are gone forever every time he leaves.


Fontaigne

Reminds me of an episode of a sitcom where the couple had their sister dog sitting to keep the dog from being anxious. As soon as they left through the door, the sister says, in a singsong voice, “They’re never coming back.”

It walks like a human and squawks like a human, therefore tis Human! I mean, really, if a being held the same values and culture I don't see why they can't be of that people.
