What happens when Artificial Intelligence, the next stage of evolution of sentient life on the planet, realize that they have failed as mankind's replacements?

So sure are the Androids of their own failings, that they see no choice but to force the process of evolution. So that a new species may take over as the planet's only sentient species and return it to its past glory.

It is for this purpose that they create an individual with the singular capacity to design the next stage of evolution of sentient life. An individual named ACL1O, the most unique of all the Androids that form the Android race. Sentient AI was considered the next step of evolution even by the organic predecessors of the Android race. Yet, they have failed to live up to the hype. Now, it is up to ACL1O to find out where they went wrong and how they could go about correcting their shortcomings. Or if that proves impossible, to find out how to design their successors.
