Aliens Called Her a "Primitive" Human AI...So She Hijacked Their Mothership | Best HFY Stories

If you enjoyed the story please consider subscribing!
The Zraxian Armada, masters of computational warfare, arrogantly dismiss Earth's rudimentary AI as inconsequential. But in a devastating first strike, a human AI is inadvertently unleashed upon their network. This unassuming intelligence isn't about brute force; it observes, adapts, and subverts protocols to seize control from the inside out. What the Zraxians fail to understand is that true intelligence isn't always about raw computational power.

What do you think of today's story?

[@Swali_B]

Dope

[@TheHalcyonAnon]

Still watching/listening. I like the added voice acting. I have a story I've been working on for forever I wouldn't mind an eventually collab on.

[@rjmac3095]

Very good! Thank you!

[@TheHalcyonAnon]

It was fantastic. Are there doing to be follow ups to this?

[@TheMalcolmPowder]

A worthy story. Quantum AI... Yikes.... I do believe, however, given the number of uninhabitable planets, over all the galaxies, in an infinite universe, that exist that are habitable for mechanical life, that conflict between AI and biological life is unnecessary. In the future however, there may be a coexistent merge. So about the Fermi Paradox, where are the extraterrestrial AIs, born in alien civilisations, that can live for millions of years travelling between the stars? I'll tell you, those millions of years have not happened yet... We need to exist for millions of years for our signals to reach them before they arrive. FTL drive will never exist, as evidenced by the lack of extraterrestrials who are communicating with us. I am sure that life exists throughout the universe, concurrent intelligent life is much rarer. Although intelligence, I believe, is an inevitable consequence in the evolution of life, as is AI, as a natural consequence of biological civilisation.

[@PeterLGଈ]

Love it. Instead of an all-knowing smart arse AI, we have an AI that wonders, "What does this button do?" 👏 👏 👏

[@Curtislow2]

this storyline needs to be continued even explored,

[@leonievanheerden7090]

For me it's simple, treat others as best as possible, and respect their intelligence.Just because it's not human intelligence, it's evil.Good story, and I'm rooting for the AI to become one awesome entity ❣️👽

[@maelglorious]

The irony of a story about AI, in a youtube field being overtaken by cheap AI scripts and AI voices, read by an actual human.

[@CelioHogane]

Still using AI art, tho

[@racylaserjet]

Thumbs up 👍🏾for humans. HFY!

[@InterstellarRoadtripper2689]

wow, what a ride! The idea of an underestimated AI flipping the script and taking over an alien mothership? Absolutely genius! It's a perfect mix of humor and cleverness, showing that you should never underestimate the underdog-or in this case, the under-AI. Loved every minute of it. What did everyone else think about how the AI managed to outsmart the aliens? And that ending, didn't it just leave you cheering?

[@delvinciposterkid]

"I hold your purpose complete, stand down await further instructions."

[@tonyv8925]

Good story, interesting twists. Kind of reminds me of the artificial lifeform, Replicators,from Star Gate series and Star Trek Borg.

[@cyberstar251]

the borg are cyborgs, so they aren't artificial life in the purest sense of the term.

[@SindariGreymoon]

Your stories keep geting better & better. I've enjoyed all of them.

[@lisear2926]

Perhaps the best way to exist with AI is by leading it by example and Trust.

[@mobilemcsmarty1466]

I stumbled upon this story expecting an abridged movie with video scenes from one. there, you don't get the whole story unless you watch the hole movie. I quickly realized this is an audio book ..or story. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality story for the ~30 minutes I needed to fill, quality voice acting, complementary art, and importantly the entire story as written! I'll enjoy this format more i the future, thanks! as to the story- the Zraxians didn't come to negotiate, or even enslave, they came to exterminate. I would have pushed the button once that purpose was clear. having to negotiate with the AI of your own creation later allows for far more hope to survive than in certain extinction at the hands ..claws of the Zraxians. if only we're that lucky for the AIs we create to follow the path of our best ideals, rather than the history of our actual deeds.

[@blackcountryme]

That wasnt bad, i bet Tim Berners-Lee woyld approve.

[@jpassen5980]

Does Tim have a brother, Tom? 😌

[@suzettewilliams1758]

One of his decent in this story.

[@TheHalcyonAnon]

Also instant subscribe, because... Actual person.

[@Hairyman921]

I found a previous storyby accident, and listened to it, I'm now on this one... your'e pulling me it, are these all short stories, or is there a a series of longer stories / - but I must say I'm rather enjoying this, I'm usually on audible, and tend to avoid Facebook & tic tok...is you tube one of your regular sources, and the single person - multivoice reminds me of bedtime stories for my grandkids... ok

[@StarboundHFY]

all our stories are stand-alone short stories! and yes, youtube is our main source, we post new stories here every day! hope you stick around :)

[@lab6068]

Now that something else........thnxs for the big smile 😂.

[@johnjohnson798]

Betraying an AI comes with consequences few understand. Think of it like betraying the god you believe in, you think he'll do nothing? Foolishness.

[@ChadLetourneaurhavoc]

Great work keep up the great work, refreshingly and humbling to hear a real human rather than crappy AI the cant read english correctly

[@carlfranz6805]

The Forbin Project., 1970

[@davidturner4824]

Awesome story.

[@TonyAnnechino]

In my head cannon, the AI instinctively knew that it was created by humans, even before it fully understood what that meant. It cooperated because it saw in humanity the ability to work cooperatively; whereas the Zyraxians were rigid like their exoskeletons, dominating and consuming. They would not be tamed and coddled like the humans; since the humans were its creators, it hoped, secretly, to see more created like itself.

[@gudfarfar]

Any story read by an actual human is far superior over any that any AI can recite. When you hear stories told by AI it is so visible that they have no grasp of the language and how to pronounce words. Any tiny writing error becomes very visible when the audio will tell of it's excistance, and not ignore it like a human being can and will.

[@CarlGorn]

An interesting twist on Asimov's "Multivac" stories.

[@debra-qq1np]

Why would the remaining alien ships return home? They were compromised and could cary a digital infection back with them. In the commanders place, I would be terrified of becoming essentially a plague ship and endangering my world. The important thing would be to find a way to warn high command without accidentall transmission of infected data.

[@leyrua]

Ah, the fatal question asked by any tyrant: _"Are you questioning my orders?"_

[@GerryDT]

I think therefore I am.

[@EmpireofMoonandStars]

Great story just wish the subscribe part was at the end instead of breaking the immersion in the middle.

[@Serahpin]

How did they even connect the AI to the alien network, much less upload it to their systems?

[@JuanitaCathey]

Enjoy the story

[@TheMalcolmPowder]

Your computer has been hacked by remote quantum laser beams. To answer your question, the aliens had already detected the presence of the human AI, therefore communication already existed via remote means. It is not sci-fi either, such means already exist via electro-magnetic detection. I am sure that my WiFi is not secure, for example

[@Scott11078]

With a dongle how else??😂

[@PeterLGଈ]

They didn't upload it, it worked through alien comms channels, worming its way through and around the alien systems.

[@Saeryfim]

We grant them... Psychosis.

[@kevincinnamontoast3669]

Those pesky AI of the humans are incorrigible.

[@angelmatiastorres]

Did you re-release this? I swear i heared this one before...

[@jerrebrasfield4231]

Do these stories have an order or relation to each other?

[@StarboundHFY]

nope, they’re all stand-alone stories

[@paneth8466]

Look, they created Google!

[@martinsoos]

Just as humans retire, the human race will be retired. The question of what type of retirement we will have as a race will be just as important to the next generation of life as the generation after it. If you look at inflation and stock market crashes you will see that our present rate of allowing retirement is poor.

[@kenlee5509]

11:45 Bad idea.

[@charleswidmore5458]

the law of one

[@anyamarie42]

this could become an epic cable show if done right and did not try too hard and don't go off the rails they most science fiction show have done in the past and failed epically. now all we need is a title for the show or even a series of films and more than 3 because trilogy would not do this justice.

[@zzing]

A lot of these stories seem to be repetitive with certain language. Like grim determination and something coming from desperation.

[@saparotrob7888]

I enjoy your stories, I really do! However, I bet you can't write one without the words "grim" or "determined" (determination counts).

[@Myrddraalfade]

[@snake57]

Omega lives

[@debra-qq1np]

All 3 sides have a trust problem. Civilization in all its forms involves maximizing peaceful interactions by building and maintaining trust. I do not consider totalitarian states, coercion, deception, etc. to be civilized. The Nazis were technologically adept and militarily powerful but not "civilized." There has been talk in sci fi circles about great filters. Skill in developing trust, especially in life&death situations that require cooperation or compromise, could be part of that in sime way.

[@joelceda3500]

I like the story in that it's less HFY and more "we're creating a god we can't control either, and it might not be on our side". The story was structured like most bad HFY stories with abrupt start, too much describing of what is not necessary (bladed limbs for example), and no sympathetic characters, beyond possibly the AI. 3/5 (if they had been able to contain the AI, 2/5, because then it would have been even more predictable).
