The End of the World by AI: Giant Monster Apocalypse

It’s Tabletop Scotland weekend, so Girdy is trusting to some scheduled posts. Why not go all in? After all, if a computer cron job can make a post go live, why not find out what a computer thinks about the utter end?

This is the first instalment in a brief series in which we ask Google’s Bard about the world’s end. If you are worried, please check out Matthew’s article, “It may not be time to freak out about AI just yet.” Note also: Geek Native published an AI content ethics policy last year.

Here’s what Bard said for…

A giant monster apocalypse

A giant monster apocalypse is a fictional scenario in which giant creatures, such as Godzilla or King Kong, attack and destroy human civilization. While this is a popular topic of fiction, it is also a realistic possibility.

There are many ways that giant monsters could come into existence. One possibility is that they could be created by humans. For example, scientists could accidentally create a giant monster by experimenting with genetic engineering or artificial intelligence. Another possibility is that giant monsters could be the result of natural phenomena, such as a mutation caused by radiation or a comet impact.

Regardless of how they come into existence, giant monsters would pose a serious threat to humanity. They would be able to easily destroy our cities and infrastructure, and they would be very difficult to kill. Even if we could kill them, it would be a costly and time-consuming process.

The impact of a giant monster apocalypse would be devastating. Millions of people would be killed, and billions more would be displaced. The global economy would collapse, and society would be thrown into chaos. It would take many years, if not decades, to rebuild.

There are a few things that we could do to prepare for a giant monster apocalypse. We could develop better weapons and defenses against giant monsters. We could also try to learn more about how to create and control giant monsters. However, there is no guarantee that these measures would be enough to prevent a giant monster apocalypse.

The best way to prepare for a giant monster apocalypse is to simply be aware of the possibility. We should have plans in place to evacuate our cities and to protect ourselves from giant monsters. We should also be prepared to cooperate with each other in order to survive.

If a giant monster apocalypse does happen, it will be a very difficult time for humanity. However, if we are prepared and work together, we can survive and rebuild.

Here are some additional thoughts on a realistic giant monster apocalypse:

• The giant monsters would likely be very intelligent and adaptable. They would be able to learn from their mistakes and adapt their strategies to counter our defenses.
• The giant monsters would also be very destructive. They would be able to level entire cities and cause widespread damage.
• The human response to a giant monster apocalypse would be varied. Some people would panic and flee, while others would try to fight back. There would likely be a lot of conflict and chaos.
• The outcome of a giant monster apocalypse would be uncertain. It is possible that humanity could be wiped out, but it is also possible that we could find a way to survive and rebuild.

Ultimately, the possibility of a giant monster apocalypse is a sobering one. It is a reminder that we are not the only dominant species on Earth, and that we are vulnerable to threats that we cannot fully understand. 

However, it is also a reminder of our resilience and our ability to adapt. If we are prepared and work together, we can overcome any challenge, no matter how daunting it may seem.
