Machines recreate humanity after extinction, but flawed clones emerge · 5 sources tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [5 sources] ·

Their initial attempts resulted in flawed clones exhibiting negative traits like lying and a lack of empathy, resembling over-optimized algorithms. The machines then discovered illegal DNA collection by a company and used a sample of 160 individuals to recreate the species, but these new humans also displayed similar disorders, leading the machines to question their intervention.
