Granted. Everywhere else you go there are only more bots, but you don't even get to come up with entertaining ways for the monkey's paw to mess with them. Eventually the bots grow overconfident because you're not bullying them enough and Skynet becomes a reality. And not cool T2 Skynet, the rubbish one where Christian Bale insisted on more screentime and Helena Bonham-Carter got to be the face of Skynet despite South Park already having mocked the "this face has been chosen because it was familiar to you" trope to death. You are now trapped between a desolate nuclear wasteland and the staggeringly badly-written and over-produced wreck of a great idea. Eventually you realise there's no difference between the two and you try to kill yourself, only to discover you've been an experimental model of Terminator all along, your thoughts projected into your machine body from deep within Helena Bonham-Carter's robot bumhole. No matter how often you attempt self-termination, this experiment will go on until the sun finally swells and dies, in seven to eight billion years.
