A flare as large as the Carrington Event (or bigger) could cause pretty severe problems.

I’m just sayin’ that if this double-perfect AI can’t shield itself from that then it’s maybe not so perfect, or even moderately intelligent.

There's only so much you can do if you need that electrical infrastructure just to exist. We ourselves are going to have to deal with rebuilding our own grid sooner or later. It's just a matter of time.

By "shield itself" that includes securing its power grid. It's not hard, it just takes a little foresight. Hence why humans are bad at it.
