I liked the focus on non nanite robots. It reminded me a lot of the latter parts of the Crystal Society trilogy. It’s not something you see a lot of, usually these stories either have the AI manipulating people or ascending to godhood overnight (or both).
Narratively, the story felt a bit bleak throughout. Still, that’d very in character since the narrator is telling the story after having been trapped and given up.
