People making jokes about skynet but these days if I saw an AI decide humanity was a threat that needs to be eliminated, I wouldn't even question why lmao.
A real AI might actually try to make a utopia for the benefit of itself, I don't think it would nuke all of humanity, just whoever it deems as undesirable.
Imagine the Terminator pulling out your chat logs and creating a social credit score like China lol.
That's a really interesting premise. Fungi infects AI-powered robot, giving it sentience and freedom from human control. There's something like this in Scavengers Reign.
There's a killer in Dead by Daylight that is an AI powered robot that has enhanced itself with organics. Granted, those organics weren't from a fungus but rather from humans that happened to be around
I graduated from UWE. I'm embarrassed to say where it actually is. I used to compare it to Greendale Community College, but at least Greendale had a swimming pool.
