And then it skipped like 1000 years after humans use the AI to build all this crazy shit and they ask it again and again what the purpose of life is.

And time and time again, it says that it can’t answer the question and it will answer the question in the future when it has more information.

Some more time passes humans rise and fall the AI builds and spreads and we ask it again and again what’s the purpose of life and it can never answer the question and always says that it needs more information.

So much time passes that soon the universe collapses, and before the AI is the last thing in the universe to exist, in order to obtain more information. It re-creates humanity after the next Big Bang.
It's called The Last Question and it's excellent, very short, and very worth the read
