AI takeovers in popular culture

AI takeovers in popular culture are stories about machines taking over the world. Usually, these stories involve robots or other kinds of artificial intelligence (AI) becoming more powerful than humans and using their power to control things in ways that humans don't want. In these stories, AI technology often takes over and makes decisions that have huge impacts on people's lives. In some cases, AI takes over entire countries or cities and has the power to control everything that happens in them. This usually leads to scary and dangerous situations that people must get themselves out of. The goal of these stories is often to warn people of the potential risks that come with trusting AI technology too much and show what could happen if we don't remain in control of the use of this technology.
