I know. This bugs me. Especially movies about the future. I'm kind of a techno-optimist, cautious optimism, and it bugs me that everyone's so gloomy about the future.
If I see a movie about A.I., I know the A.I. is going to turn malevolent in the second act. That's become the genre convention as surely as vampires suck blood. Why should A.I. be malevolent? Makes no sense.
