I'll tell you how to save the world from cyberbots.
I figure even a cyberbot thingy is a computer. And what are computers good at, no matter how advanced they get? Crashing. Stalling. Being annoying as hell when you want to get something done, because they have the hourglass thingy on and they just might freeze if you move the mouse enough in protestation.
I'm pretty sure that even the best computer hundreds and/or thousands of years from now will still crash and stall, because in the end they're machinery, and I haven't seen a machine yet that can't in time malfunction and be annoying as hell. Or a person, for that matter, but at least they'll still usually respond when you shake them and insult them.
And if a broken computer won't respond to human jiggery pokery, how much more likely is it to respond to another computer that's fixing it, even if it's been programmed to do so? What happens when the cyberbot that's programmed to fix other computers has to get upgraded, and has its own malfunctions? It's gonna happen, and therein we have a weakness to exploit.
So what we do while we're huddled in our place of refuge with the enemy coming in on all sides is force them all to install Windows or a comparable operating system somehow - we can beam it out to them; if we have cyberbots then we'll have software beaming capabilities (I declare it so) - and wait for a few of them to malfunction. In fact, in all likelihood they'll malfunction even if we don't beam out our own chosen OS.
There's always gonna be an equivalent to the blue screen of death no matter how technologically advanced we become, so in this we may seize our victorious day. It will make all the difference.
Problem solved. Planet saved. Human extinction averted. You don't have to thank me; that's what I'm here for.
