    We’ve had this idea for literally decades now.

    Technology running amok is a time tested theme. Whether it is a space station with a computer named HAL or an out of control car killing people named Christine, the idea that mankind is vulnerable to our own creations turning on us is very common theme.

    AI themed books and movies are going to coming out in droves over the next few years as authors and directors take it to the next step. It’s going to be so played out soon, if it isnt already.
