What is this, Horizon Zero Dawn? Will we have to steal parts from the mammoth's cauldron facilities for our survival, while the mammoths continue to get stronger and stronger in an unstoppable paperclip optimizing loop?

By paperclip optimizing loop did you by any chance mean https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/index2.html?

The same idea that is referencing.

The game I mentioned has several paperclip optimizing scenarios unfolding at the same time, including one where terraforming robots (some of which are designed like mammoths & serve a similar environmental purpose) keep getting stronger and stronger to protect themselves from robot hunters while the AI's central command system has gone missing. It takes place in a completely "reset" world, so from the perspective of humans the robots have always been part of the natural environment. Not the most realistic AI story, but very fun.
