4-year-old's playtime: "Hold on, I need to code something. Ok, the AIs are working"

A widely shared anecdote: the poster's 4-year-old staged a pretend battle where he first grabbed a phone, mimed coding — "Hold on, I need to code something. Code, code, code. Ok, the AIs are working" — then declared "Oh no, the AIs are attacking us!" and fought off AI invaders with foam swords. A vivid glimpse of how 'delegating to AI' is already a natural, default gesture for the next generation.
