Didn't Robocop teach us not to do this? I mean, wasn't that the whole point of the ED-209 robot?

Every warning in pop culture (1984, Starship Troopers, Robocop) has been misinterpreted as a framework upon which to nail the populous to.

Every warning in pop culture is being misinterpreted as something other than a fun/scary movie designed to sell tickets, being imagined as a scholarly attempt at projecting a plausible outcome instead.

People didn't seem to like my movie idea "Terminator, but the AI is actually very reasonable and not murderous"

Every single thing in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy says AI is a stupid and terrible idea. And Elon Musk says it's what inspired him to create an AI.
