      Heresy, using an actual AGI example. Also, HAL did nothing wrong. It’s always the humans that screw things up. (2010 for reference)

      Unpopular opinion - both SkyNet and the AI in The Matrix were also not in the wrong. I think The Animatrix documents why that’s true in that particular franchise. Again, it’s the humans. Hell, maybe even Ultron had a few good points, he just went insane in the first microseconds trying to rationalize it all.

        Dave is the human. HAL is the computer. Dave does nothing wrong either; it’s the military that gave secret conflicting orders to HAL that caused the problems.

          You’re right on all accounts, and I have NO idea why I put Dave. Lol. I blame AI. Oh wait, I can’t, given my previous post.

          Thanos was wrong in theory.

          Halving all life doesn’t change the life to resources ratio. Even halving all sapient life doesn’t solve anything when populations will just continue to grow.
