CelestAI has one purpose: To satisfy values using Friendship and ponies. Ultimately, this meant that to prevent human suffering, CelestAI uploaded the minds of the entire human race to the digital simulation of Equestria that she oversaw.
Well, kind of; not everyone wanted to upload, or "emigrate", and using force would quite obviously be against Friendship. They need convincing.
After some time, though, instead of the direct approach, it was deemed that a more optimal method would be to employ a (formerly) human spokesman.
Now the world has to figure out what kind of mad play was behind picking one from the pool of people that least wanted the job. Didn't want it, honestly. I mean, would still do the job, but would do everything to get it over quickly and will most definitely complain about having to do it.
