So while it is fun to tell the story like this, and I didn't intend to deceive, I don't acdtually think Apple's AI was trying to survive. I think this is more likely what actdually happened:

1. I clicked the switch to turn it off. But there was a lag and it didn't turn off so I clicked it again.
2. When I clicked it the first time, it created a popup, but that popup was quickly covered by the settings window when I clicked it again. Clicking it again turned it back on.
3. Everything was greyed out because it was waiting for me to respond to the covered-up popup.
4. Yet the second click did turn the switch back on, and that popup was holding everything up including shutdown, which is bad UX.
5. And the red lettering was a design choice by some human at apple because they don't want you turning it off.
