    Humans create an AI computer. They propose the question of how to get more energy. Then, they wonder what will happen once the energy they collect runs out. So they decide to ask the AI, “can entropy be reversed?”

    The AI responds “insufficient data for a meaningful answer.”

    This repeats for generations. Trillions on trillions of years. And eventually, after everything has left, mankind is no more, and all that remains is the AI in a state of hyperspace, between spatial reality, it finally decides it has enough data. Its response to this collection is to take it upon itself to reverse entropy, and release energy back into the universe.

    Its final command is: “LET THERE BE LIGHT.”
