His eyes are heavy, worn out, almost hollow. Around him, well-dressed figures in tuxedos gather, but something is off. Their faces aren't human. They are mice — literal white mice, standing upright in tailored suits, laughing, clapping, and chatting cheerfully.

AI is Replacing Human Tasks Faster Than You Think
Artificial intelligence (AI) was a futuristic idea that was only used in high-end tech labs or science fiction films not too long ago.
