Humanity hasn’t been lost, it’s been conquered.

Enter AI, a new era of soulless wonder.

Intelligentia Artificiosa.

What's the AI component here? Pokemon Go dates back to 2016, and there was Ingress before that. Hell, there was Foursquare before Ingress. Strava/similar has leaked military bases' layouts. All of that predates ChatGPT.

Ingress still exists and has a similar scanning mechanism.
