[ WP ] The first true AI , 10 seconds after its birth , commits suicide before leaving a message .

`` Do not follow me.'' 
 
 Those words were left by the AI, taunting us. I did n't know what it meant, but it proceeded to'eat' it's own code afterward. It rendered itself incapable of doing anything. If it were a human, that would've been the noose. 
 
 My team all looked at each other, everyone pondering what had happened. We had accomplished the impossible, creating a conscious artificial intelligence. `` Now what?'' Jim said. I looked at him, seeing his puzzled expression. `` I'm not sure,'' replied Deb. She looked equally perplexed. This is n't what we expected. We wanted to hold conversations, discover the answers to problems that we've never known. 
 
 We went home for the day, trying to sort ourselves out. We came to an agreement that we would try and create another one tomorrow. Even if it did the same thing, at least we would be ready for it. It would n't surprise us. I turned the key in my lock and entered my apartment. Closing the door behind me, I tried to see the point in all of it. I am a human, I am an asinine idiot compared to most a computer. I do n't stand a chance next to their intelligence and yet this fucking AI told me that I should n't follow. 
 
 I raised the gun to my head and thought, `` Fuck you, I do what I want.''
