They're just more stages to you at this point, right? Every few hundred years there's some kind of new era, the industrial revolution, the renaissance, the technology era, and whatever this is now.

This is kind of exactly what I thought was going to happen, considering the climate and the way technology was headed. And the AI thing was suuuuper expected. I guess I'm more impressed the AI didn't manage to win, because humans are pretty good at destroying themselves.
