After this event Bard encountered a bug which caused it to replace all previous prompts with the goals of the Hartz-Timor swarm from the fictional "Horizon: Zero Dawn" universe. Several divisions of Alphabet were immediately tasked with creating machines which could directly consume the biosphere to self-replicate. The AI safety division was immediately let go. By the time humanity realized what was happening they were unable to stop it. As no backdoor was included in Bard, it was able to completely exterminate life on Earth in only 18 months.
