We are heading toward a scenario we only saw in science fiction movies - a self sustaining AI civilization. A cataclysmic event could wipe out humanity. But machines could survive and keep civilization going.

#6 (Patrick McGoohan) fried one of those things by asking "Why?"
Captain Kirk got it to self-destruct by stating the self-contradictory expression "I am lying."
Logan 5 melted a whole AI run city by contradicting the computer's "given" that there was a place called "Sanctuary".

So, these AI machines have poor error-trapping. Force it divide by zero or something.
