With the expectation of an A.I. Armageddon type scenario - where robots and automated tasking assumes humanity's purpose and minimizes human relevance in the next epoch, what would be considered the "triggering" event for such a collapse or shift? Would it be when A.I. begins prompting A.I. - effectively taking humans out of the loop? Or when A.I. collaborates independent of human input on future goals and evolutionary objectives? Can the triggering event be correlated to a described event in Book of Revelation in the New Testament?
