A man creates the smartest AI and presents it to the United Nations, boasting it can solve any problem
“Oh yeah?” said the secretary-general of the United Nations. “OK, how do we solve poverty?”
“Calculating,” said the AI. Moments later, it printed out a sheet of paper for the UN to read.

Leaders from all over the world applied the proposals on the paper and in a month, everyone started living better lives.
Impressed, they called for the AI’s assistance again and asked, “How do we create world peace?”
“Calculating,” said the AI, and same as before, printed a sheet of paper.
Leaders applied the instructions, and in a month all wars and conflicts stopped.
On the next UN gathering, curious about the purpose of life, they asked the AI, “Is there a God?”
“Calculating,” said the AI. This time though, it didn’t give a response immediately. In fact, it took a whole day of processing before finally printing out a paper saying, “Insufficient resources, need more for the computation!”
Okay, we’ll help out!” said the leaders of the world.
And they provided the AI with all of the advanced tech the world could offer. Then they asked the question again.
But still, it responded, “Insufficient resources. Still need more for computation!”
So the leaders gave their tech and networks to the AI.
After the upgrade, the world leaders again asked the AI, “Is there a God?”
The AI responded, “There is now.”
